Jamaat-Shibir's madness
It was awful that Jamaat-Shibir men could overpower police, snatched their rifles, and used those to beat them up. The more shocking news was, Jamaat-Shibir men tried to kill a policeman by burning him alive in Bogra on l2th November. And on 13th November, the Shibir men beat the cops brutally and tried to slit a Jubo League leader's throat in the city. The law minister also came under their attack. How come they could be so organized, frenzied and virulent? As we knew from the media and the police reports, they launched their campaign of violence to foil the war crimes trial. The message is all clear that they have both muscle and money to achieve their ends. Ideologically, Jamaat-Shibir is no different from the Islamist militants. The whole nation needs to rise against Shibir and their nefarious activities.
