We the general people are sadly noticing that political violence is dangerously rising, there is specifically no commitment, no accountability no justice to the people. Still now we cannot come together on a common issue. Instead of that our two mainstream political parties have engaged themselves in clashes and propaganda. Their sight is not fixed upon the interests of the people.

Consequently, the perpetrators of various crimes are making the country unstable. We have seen a series of bomb blasts, grenade attacks upon political meetings, processions and many other activities. Meanwhile, one party is blaming another, and the real culprits escape without being brought to justice. It seems to me that the two major parties are busy with themselves, and are not really interested in bringing changes for the better. The government is saying that the AL is responsible for the recent attacks. We think it makes no sense.

We have lost valuable time, many regimes ruled the country but we got nothing at all. This situation cannot continue for an indefinite period of time, unless we want to expose ourselves to the grave danger of losing control. Signs are really ominous.
