The HSC examinees are very worried about the frequent countrywide shutdowns which may interrupt their normal education life. Parents are much more worried about the safe arrival of their offspring at home from the examination halls.
Once upon a time hartal was a weapon to protest against injustice and repression but now it has become a weapon of spreading panic and violence among people. We think the leaders and activists of BNP are also patriots. So they should think about the country's student community who will in the future take charge of the party. Hence, the party should spare the exam days from hartals.
