Jamaat expected the help of Saudi govt to stop war crimes trial multiple times while BNP chief Khaleda Zia asked for intervention to resolve political impasse. But Saudi Arabia did not respond to the requests, Prothom Alo reports quoting leaked diplomatic documents.

WHILE solutions to the present political stalemate do not appear to be in sight and the public continue to suffer due to obstinacy of the political actors, is it worth pondering over measures that could be undertaken without recourse to political dialogue, with a view to tiding over the present situation?

THE number one priority for any human being is safety of life and property. People live in a society and even form a state basically from that desire. Formation of government and financing of the same are borne by the people with the expectation that they would receive protection.

IT does not need an expert to say that we have landed ourselves in the most difficult situation as a result of the current political deadlock.

It is really heartening to see the 'concerned citizens' taking initiative for a solution to the current political impasse and countrywide killing of innocent people. There can be no doubt that the general people except the diehard politicians support this move wholeheartedly.

POLITICS seems to have gone mad! It has ruthlessly been harming future nation-builders by shattering their academic life alongside killing innocent people and destroying the country's economic backbone.

EVERY day we see in the media graphic images and horror stories of innocent civilians -- victims of the ongoing political unrest. Who is to blame?
