Two leaders
The nation can hardly conjure up the vision of a dialogue between the two top political leaders since 1990, when they took part in the movement against an autocratic ruler. That very political upheaval was due to the unison of the all classes of people whose emotion coupled with indignation and hatred against the undemocratic gestures of the government of Ershad finally found expression in a mass movement. But since then the two major parties have never been able to maintain the relationship that people would like them to.
The opposition must have been unsettled by the recent incidents. But still there is no alternative to a fruitful dialogue with the government on important national issues.
