People die on political leaders' watch

People die on political leaders' watch

For the past few weeks, Bangladesh has been experiencing deadly strikes and hartals. Our opposition party leader Khaleda Zia and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina are the ones to blame. Offices and schools have been closed and no one dares to go out. Those who must go to work always remain in fear of getting burned or bombed. If these hartals continue throughout December till the election day, we will have to see more deaths and loss of properties. When will our leaders learn to compromise?
