Political parties fail
Failure of our major political parties to reach a political understanding paved the way for the present caretaker government(CTG) to assume power with the backing of the army. People at the beginning were more or less appreciative of the CTG, especially for its chasing the top tier corrupt politicians. However, hope tended to gradually fade away as the CTG plunged into an over-stretched agenda within a limited period of time. Moreover, the price hike of consumer products, lack of business activities and subsequent economic slow down have resulted in a growing discontent among the common people.
We still don't know whether there are some vested quarters behind the screen who are trying to exploit the situation and destabilise the CTG or not, but it is sure that this kind of situation could have been avoided if the CTG were more careful and sensitive, especially in dealing with the students.
