Hartal
Thomas Gomes Bhura Tejgaon, Dhaka
The bombing incidents across the country on 17/8/05 signify a national crisis felt globally. In the wake of this crisis, we should stand united setting aside any party affiliation. I fail to understand the meaning of the call for hartal by the main opposition party in this regard. If it is not wrong for me to compare the crisis in question with that of 7/7 London bombing, I discover that there is broad consensus in the UK to tackle the situation regardless of difference of opinion which is normal in a democratic atmosphere.Instead of going deeper into the issue my question is--what benefit the hartal will yield for the nation? I am not supporting terrorism of any kind, peace is my main concern. President Ershad once told that if there is depression in the Bay of Bengal the opposition will blame the government for that. His observation seems relevant in today's context.
