A political trump card?
Quite a long time has elapsed since the PM's crackdown on the religious extremists in the wake of extreme criticisms by the donors. The government banned the two religious extremist groups and arrested some of their exponentsDr. Galib and others. Though the PM ordered the arrest of extremely macabre Bangla Bhai, leader of one of the banned groups JMJ, yet the government has completely failed to even trace him. It has utterly failed to let the nation know about his whereabouts and remains ominously quiet about this vital issue. Bangladesh is a small country and our law enforcing departments are supposed to be able to arrest him. There was the news that our so far successful elite force Rab along with other forces took charge of arresting the criminal but, unfortunately enough, none of them has made any progress and is now absolutely silent only to make the issue more complicated and obscure. At this point of obscurity one cannot but wonder if Bangla Bhai is a trump card of any political party to be used at a convenient time?
We, the citizens, demand immediate arrest of this criminal. Only by resolving all these dire issues can we project a better image of the country and, most importantly, uphold the holy spirit of our sacred independence.
