When Bangladesh is burning....

A. H. Dewan, Dhaka Cantt., Dhaka

With loss of lives, burnt buses and other vehicles, explosion of crude bombs and cocktails here and there, Bangladesh is being torn to shreds by the BNP blockade and the government's intransigence to stick to its own position. The most damaging aspect of the blockade is total halt of communications from the districts to the capital.
Just before the blockade, my uncle had a heart attack and his wife was frenetically for a transport for two days to come to Dhaka from Dinajpur for his treatment. And finally when she could finally avail a police guarded transport and reached Dhaka, my uncle had expired. And this is just the tip of the iceberg; imagine people's predicaments all over the country. Will Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina not come to an understanding when Bangladesh is burning?
