On the verge of losing temper!

This type of heinous crime is nothing new--starting from the previous AL regime and still it's going on. The attackers are for sure not from the AL or the BNP, then why cannot the government find them out and bring them to justice? It has been over six months since the grenade attack on the AL chief, but still the government has no clue whatsoever. FBI came, so did Interpol but what is the result? What will two or three FBI agents do? It is virtually impossible to solve this problem without the government's willingness and copperation. If the government is serious enough, why Bangla Bhai is not arrested, despite repeated orders from the prime minister? Is it that a small group of fundamentalists have become more powerful than the government, or is it that there are some people in the government who support these fanatics? What did Rab do to find out the August 21 attackers and what are they doing now to find the criminals? The basic point is that, nothing is possible without proper and responsible governance. Neither, the Rab nor the FBI can do anything unless and until the government is serious about it.

What more is needed to wake this government up ? As a society we cannot afford to lose more Kibrias like this. We cannot let a small group of fundamentalists kill our democracy. These fanatics have no limits but we the common people do. The civil society showed its anger and disappointment when thousands joined hands with Ms. Asma Kibria on Feb 4. Is it not enough for the government to realise how annoyed the people of the country are? It seems the answer is no, when we see our honourable LGRD minister saying things like Awami League will not get more than 40 seats next time. The way Awami League MPs are being killed, I totally agree with the minister.

We, the common people of the country, have had enough of this and now we want serious and determined steps from the government.

Lastly, I would like to write something in reply to what Mr. Wasiuddin Khan wrote on Feb 8. Mr. Khan said the AL was adopting different unfair means to topple the government and it was not easy to topple a government with two-thirds majority. I would like to ask him, what will the Awami League do when its leaders are being killed one after another?
