Why so many lives had to be taken away? Why can't we resolve our differences through civility?
Dev Saha
I am wondering whether these cadres have been getting combat training from the Afghan war veterans.
Shafiqur Rahman
Well, what did you expect the police and other law enforcement agencies to do? Just stand there and have their heads beaten by Hefajat men? Hefajat should go to an Islamic country with Islamic and Shariah laws. Hefajat, you are not welcome here. We already have enough problems.
A Bangalee
It is surprising that the government allowed Hefajat-e Islam to hold a rally at Shapla Chattar.
Ashique Anwar
It is so sad that these "followers of Islam" are using mosques for political purposes. What a shame! Go home, Jamaat. Go home, Hefajat. We want peace.
Iftekhar Hassan
Hefajat's rise to this level can be a threat to the country's stability. Without stability Bangladesh cannot develop.
Khan Kalam
The Jamaat-Shibir and BNP backed Hefajat are trying to turn this country into Afghanistan. The BNP and AL are fighting each other to get to power. The welfare of the common people is outside their agenda. The poor and middle classes are suffering severely because of this chaotic situation. Forced hartals and vandalism are becoming part of our daily life. Is this called democracy?
Sharukh Khan
Curing this religious vulgarity disease depends on how the government tackles poverty and illiteracy in a vastly impoverished country, where parents send their kids to madrasas instead of to modern and decent schools.

How long will we mourn these sorts of man-made accidents? Let's take proper action.

We are so cursed as a country that we have politicians who are busy throwing dirt by stepping on dead bodies. It is not just the politicians' fault, it is our fault because we, the general people, allow them to do whatever they wish to do with our silence. I really feel ashamed.

Taking quick help from the UK could have saved many more lives in this tragedy. The government's excuse is based on false pride.
