'No' to hartal
Our main opposition BNP will probably gain nothing by imposing frequent hartals on the people. Actually, the general people of the country abhor hartal as it brings immense sufferings to their daily existence. It causes serious harm to our fragile economy by disrupting the communications and dislocating day-to-day transactions in trade and commerce. A poor country like Bangladesh can not, therefore, afford such an anarchic and costly method of demonstrating public protest against political decisions. Opposition parties should now seek effective alternatives to hartal for pressurizing the govt. to fulfill their demands.
