Government versus people

By announcing January 5 as 'Victory of Democracy Day', the Awami League-led government has made a cruel joke with the people because people think otherwise; they look upon it as death of democracy day. Their voting right was snatched as if they do not count.

So, when political parties arranged programmes protesting it, people supported them. They are not happy with the unjust actions of the government. The government is not giving space to other parties to hold their scheduled programmes while Chhatra League is allowed to do anything it wishes, and that too with the help of the law enforcing agents.

But it is a grave mistake of the government; in the long run they may have to regret their actions.
