A fresh start
We will never move forward as a nation (even after 36 years) until or unless every single rajakar still living amongst us is brought to justice, including those who until very recently occupied seats of power. I understand that "to forgive is divine" but we do need a fresh start very badly and the only possible way we can continue our journey as a nation is to make these people face the music which they thoroughly deserve. We cannot continually live with this wound in our hearts. The genocide of our people in 1971 is officially ranked second only to the Nazi Holocaust of the Jews during the Second World War. How can we pass another day without batting an eyelid?
It's never too late to get our act together and close this chapter in our nation's history as there are many other pressing issues to deal with. The CTG has the golden opportunity to do what the AL, BNP and JP governments failed to. However, will common sense prevail once and for all in Bangladesh ? This may just be a mute question.
This quotation by Bruno Jasienski just happened to spring to mind while I was writing this letter:
" Do not fear your enemies. The worst they can do is kill you. Do not fear your friends. At worst, they may betray you. Fear those who do not care; they neither kill nor betray, but betrayal and murder exist because of their silent consent".
