To the opposition and the government...

We are feeling betrayed by the action of the Awami League because their leader Sheikh Hasina promised to the nation as prime minister that her party would never call a hartal even from the opposition. We trusted her and never thought that a leader of her stature would not honour her commitment to the nation.

We do not know what are those 15-point demands of the opposition, if those are reasonable and beneficial for the people then the government should accept them. For attaining their goal, the opposition should go to parliament and plead their case but it seems that they prefer the streets.

Now the Awami League is concentrating on its one-point demand, asking the prime minister to step down. This is ridiculous! What sort of a demand is this? The four-party alliance won the elections with an overwhelming majority, if they fail to run the country efficiently then people will reject them in the next general elections. The Awami League should wait for that; they will not achieve anything by making people's lives miserable with agitation, hartal, siege etc.
