I believe that a large majority of the population is thinking why the BNP is so stubbornly clinging onto its alliance with Jamaat. Day by day the Jamaat link to militants is becoming clearer. In fact, Nizami, the Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami, happens to be a person who actively opposed our liberation and was part of the despicable Al-Badr regiment. And the same person is now part of our liberated government!
But the BNP and the AL are engaged in the blame game, while the militants are getting away with heinous crimes right under their noses. In addition to that, the BNP is protecting Jamaat like a mother protecting her guilty child. The party should consider expelling Jamaat immediately, because our security is more important than clinging onto power. Otherwise, our democracy will be at stake.
