On the third anniversary of BDR carnage, the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina accused BNP of instigating BDR mutiny and said people know who brought out procession in support of the mutineers. On the other hand, Mirza Fakhrul Islam, the acting secretary general of BNP said the BDR tragedy was not a common incident---it was a result of a blueprint to damage border security to make the country dependent on others and also to destroy the future of the nation, a very clear signal pointing at the government party. Now the people are at a loss, whom to believe. The simple way is to trust both of them as both of their leaders were killed by the army and hence none of them is happy with our defence forces. But there is common belief that BNP is more pro-army and probably that is the reason behind the forced eviction of Khaleda Zia from her cantonment residence. Late Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the Father of the Nation, was brutally killed along with most of his family members and close relatives by army personnel and it is quite reasonable that AL cannot forget that tragedy. Involvement of both the major political parties also justifies the reason why the nation is yet in the dark about the real cause or motive behind this incident. But the common people and families of the victims have the right to know why fifty-seven high ranking army officers were killed by a disciplined force, a loss inflicted on the nation that many believe cannot be compensated any more.
