Shahbagh should fight for true justice

It is a remarkable sight that so many of our youths are finally getting their voices heard. It is an honour to see people exercising their democratic right with the civil society at large lending support to it. However, superb the protest at Shahbagh be, it faces the question of neutrality. And for any movement, it is common that people will judge or be critical about it. The only way perhaps the protest at Shahbagh can prove its neutrality is by being synonymous with 'justice'. As one may see injustice in the form of corruption, vengeful politics and unrestrained killings have engulfed this country, sabotaging our true potential for development in the 21st century. Hence if the protests at Shahbagh are truly for change, why stop at the injustice of the trial of war criminals only? We should pay attentions to the myriad of more pressing injustices rampant in this country. I hope and pray and chant in unison with our Shahbagh protestors out there that we can all build a truly prosperous and pluralistic country.
