Vandalism and our sufferings

Mahmoodul Haque, Gulshan, Dhaka
The rickshaw-pullers' revolt against the traffic policy of the government by vandalising hundreds of vehicles, causing sufferings to commuters, school children, sick and old has left the nation stunned. The general public of this country have had enough. The insufferable traffic jams cannot be addressed because the rickshaw-pullers don't want it. If governments, be it the AL, BNP, JP or Jamaat, are incapable of protecting the life and property of its citizens, then democracy has failed in this country and we should look for other alternatives.
