Wake-up call
I am shocked to learn the news of the death of Ms Bhutto. She was the best hope for Pakistan to get rid of the fascist elements. We should remember the attempt to kill Sheikh Hasina on 21st August 2004. While the extremists are killing their opponents, amassing money from mid-east and taking control of different powerful government and non-govt positions, our democratic and half democratic parties are busy to meet their own selfish interests.
In Bangladesh we have been seeing almost the same things as in Pakistan. If we don't isolate the extremists, we will see the real monster in the near future.
Basically, they have the same root, money source, same ideology and same mindset. It's time to take tough measures, if we want to avoid another Taliban state.
