Reek of blood and cordite
If the government is sincere about finding a way out, there is no reason why it cannot attain its goal.
Suicide bombing or terrorism of JMB is not a simple problem. It has to be uprooted immediately. But how? The opposition Awami League is directly or indirectly saying that Jamaat and BNP have links with JMB. On the other hand, coalition partners BNP and Jamaat are claiming that the AL is spoiling our image abroad. But all these activities don't help us in any way. Actually no party is patriotic enough to assess the situation objectively. That is why we are facing this problem.
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. I believe the political parties have to change their attitude. They have to reach a consensus on how to remove terrorism from this land.
We see and hear that after being arrested JMB bombers say, "We want to establish Islam in Bangladesh.Â
I am sure suicide bombing or terrorism of any kind is not permitted in Islam. The religious leaders should play their due role in getting this message across.

We achieved our independence at a great cost. After 34 years of our liberation, the country is again floating on a stream of blood. The suicide squads of JMB have made our lives miserable. We are passing our days amid great uncertainty. JMB is a threat to our existence.
We expect that people of all classes will come forward to solve the problem. But we see that the political leaders of our country are doing nothing, except blaming each other for the ongoing crisis. That is really disappointing.

We are facing serious problems. People feel insecure as terrorists are operating in different parts of the country.
The law enforcers are trying to catch the criminals, but the situation is still very tense; nobody knows who will be the next target of violence.
The government should intensify its efforts to contain terrorism.
