Home minister's assertion
At the backdrop of growing unrest and mayhem in the major educational institutions, our home minister says that the incident of Dhaka University was a stray one. Playing down the incident, she went so far as to say that this kind of incident happens. I think such an insensitive and partisan home minister has no right to stay in office any longer. Having banished all other parties from the scene, the BCL now fights among its own factions and our law enforcing agencies are continuing to give the ruling party a wide berth and in most cases acting like party activists.
Still we do not find the situation abnormal! As a nation we are now fragmented to thousand pieces. Internecine fighting is sapping our lifeblood. We are getting weaker and weaker. Let alone being assertive, we are now ready to compromise our national interest just to cling to power. Our poverty reduction index is dipping. The procession of the poor is ever increasing. People have already abandoned the hope of the AL changing the situation for the better. What they are now apprehensive about is our freedom and sovereignty.
