Settle matters in parliament
In a democratic country like Bangladesh it is permitted to have hartals. But that too, should be set on the foundation of some firm cause. Calling frequent hartals for political reasons which are entirely self-centered can never be accepted, especially when the opposition party has launched a 72 -hour hartal scheme.
Consecutive hartals will have major impact on the country's whole economic system as well as education system. Many students are appearing in their O and A level exams and for these unanticipated hartals these exams will be postponed. This will create a lot of problems for students. A country that has been overshadowed by 3 days of continuous hartals has no future.
I urge the opposition party to withdraw the hartals, think about the benefit of the nation as a whole like good Samaritans rather than being adamant on their irrational and unjustified behaviour, and settle matters in the parliament.
