Fate of war criminals
We are going through some democratic process/filtration. That "Democracy means what people want" is a totally wrong concept. Democracy means what the majority wants. And the majority means constitution. Therefore, we should strictly follow our constitution. It should not be left useless. We have two options, either change the constitution (saving war criminals) or implement it quickly. If it is implemented politically then the country may again be unsteady. If anyone(s/he may be a victim of the war) wants to implement it, then the best s/he can do is to personally file a case against the war criminals. What the present government can do is to ensure proper justice. If the government files a case against the war criminals, then the situation may get chaotic. I personally believe in forgiveness. But forgiveness should be viewed from the angle of the victims. Personally, I don't like politics which is based on religion but again it should be viewed from the angle of the majority i.e. constitution. Sooner or later, people will realise the negative effects of politics based on religion. Anyway, we must not forget the actual definition of "Democracy" which is majority or constitution.
Taking help from the inaccurate definition of "Democracy", politicians have done damage to this country. Right now we need to be united and welcome only constructive opposition.
