“Are our leaders at war against citizens?” published on December 10, 2013
Jafar Iqbal
Descendants/relatives of the leaders (Sheikh Mujib and Ziaur Rahman) are just fighting for their own fortunes and money where citizens are just their disposable weapons.

Concise and well-argued. Passionately written. However, one wonders whether the two leaders will read this article. They simply don't care:
Let the country go to hell, let the citizens suffer, let the common people die. All these don't affect them.

It is ironic that we take to the streets for everything from cricket victories to political causes but stay silent when our basic rights to safety and livelihood are in peril.
Saleh Tanveer
In any other democracy, people would flock to the streets in record numbers, surround the offices of the PM and the leader of the opposition with teeming hundreds of thousands and force them to come to terms with each other. If our people cannot get mobilised now, just because they are afraid of these two leaders and their minions, then may be we don't deserve democracy.
Mohammed Ismail
They are not the leaders of common people. We should reject those who do not think of us.

It's not because of Khaleda, it's because of Hasina that we are in this deep hole. She wants to stay in power till her death.

In today's DS, there is a picture of PM presenting flower bouquet to the president. The nation is burning and hundreds are dying but the leaders are all smiles with floral bouquet. The picture tells the story. The leaders are not at all bothered about nation and its people.

I totally agree with you sir. In the 21st century, even the soldiers at war show mercy to the common people but there is no such situation in Bangladesh.

I always like Mr. Anam's writing. However, in this context I feel it is unfair to blame the two leaders equally. Because, if you conduct a poll among your readers asking who they think is to be blamed more for the current crisis, probably more than 70% will say Hasina over Khaleda.

I believe it is important to move away from party based blame game. The main issue at hand is that leaders are not concerned about the welfare of the people but rather to hold on to or obtain power. And the nation and its citizens are regressing. All these parties have failed the people of the country.

Are killing people, destroying industries, transports etc., weapons for earning a CTG? Why didn't BNP sit for talk when AL called the opposition leader?
