Break the political stalemate

S. A. Samad, Boro Moghbazar, Dhaka

Being a septuagenarian, I had the opportunity to observe Sheikh Mujibur Rahman from a close distance. He was very simple, kind-hearted, and dedicated to people's cause. He sacrificed his own life for the cause of this country, leaving himself ever shining and immortal in the hearts of millions of his countrymen. Sheikh Hasina is blessed with such an outstanding legacy! The whole country is now on the threshold of an imminent political catastrophe. I strongly believe that she can steer the country out of this situation. If she sacrifices for the greater good of the nation, she will leave an ever-lasting imprint in the history of Bangladesh. Have we forgotten the path shown by the greats like Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela and the likes so soon?
