Govt. should speak rationally
On February 15, 2012, readers' comments were published in response to The Daily Star news report headlined "Journalist couple killed". All the comments were true to the point and Jumana Sarwar's comment was very interesting. It said, "The roaring home minister, who reminds the nation that law and order is better than anytime in the past, will again blame the opposition of being part of the conspiracy to stop the war crimes trial."
It is well said, because when anything goes wrong, the government instantly points its finger at the opposition and declares it a conspiracy to foil the war crimes trial. It has become their favourite saying and people have become tired of hearing this again and again.
The opposition political party clearly said that they are not against war crimes trial; they want the guilty to be punished. They are only saying that the trial should be of international standard, it should be transparent and not politically motivated.
So, we hope the government would not waste its breath by this sort of meaningless remarks anymore.
