Awami League's counter offensive

Nur Jahan, Chittagong
We are frustrated about the future of our country; we do not know what is going to happen in the political arena , which seems to be very volatile. It has been reported that the Awami League is going to launch a programme to counter the BNP's scheduled road march which is arranged to press home their demand for reinstatement of the caretaker government system. Awami League is going to hold rallies to gain public support in favour of abolishing the caretaker government system. We think it would be unproductive and a waste of time because people from all walks of life have rejected the idea. So, nothing can be gained by the counter rallies. It has been disclosed that Awami League will also try to portray the opposition's move as only to 'foil the war crimes trial and create anarchy'. We are tired of this sort of statements. Instead of doing unnecessary things, they should concentrate on the welfare of the country. They should think about the people and let them live in peace. If people are happy, there is nothing to fear. They may come to power again, even if the election is held under a caretaker government.
