Poor Bangali and Bangladeshi Janata; they are waiting for a miracle to happen. Their freedom is being gradually and blatantly snatched away with the new scary tactic. Is their anyone in the government thinking about the future of "Democratic Bangladesh". I can bet they are thinking about short term gains only. If not, then why will Begum Khaleda Zia set condition for National Dialogue that "Jamaat-e-Islami cannot be held responsible for the rise of militancy." Is this dialogue really worth holding? Shouldn't this be regarded as nothing but political eyewash? I am sure such questions are in the mind of the Bangali Janata. I feel betrayed by the BNP government when their acts, at present, are not nationalistic. The government is so blinded by Jamaat that they are willing to sacrifice their own MPs and ministers but cannot tolerate a single blame on Jamaat.

We, Bangalis and Bangladeshis, should be blamed too. How on earth can these people be elected to our parliament when they are known as killers of our worthy sons.

The Awami League should also be blamed. Instead of putting a stiff opposition to Jamaat, they are busy blaming the government and hoping to overthrow it. But this anarchy will not be stopped with the end of the BNP government. The only solution to this is to chase the zealots away. They should be stripped off their citizenship. Bangladesh belongs to Bangali and Bangladeshi.
