Shocking indeed

It's deeply disheartening that police and activists of the Anti-Quran Law Resistance Committee, on the very premises of a sacred place like Baitul Mukarram National Mosque, engaged in clashes and turned it into a battlefield.
Most people of Bangladesh are religious-minded and we believe that Islam is a complete code of life. So whenever it comes to formulating some policy like National Women's Development Policy (NWDP) that may be misinterpreted by opportunists as anti-Islamic; the policy-makers must exercise extreme caution and be proactive deeming it a very delicate issue, with a view to dispelling false fears and grievances of pious people as well as pre-empting violent agitation by the activists of Islamic parties. But, unfortunately, the CTG has failed to show foresight.
History says that Islam is the first religion that had given due rights to women but its various doctrines have been misinterpreted by some evil people and misunderstood by commoners. There are Islamic scholars in Bangladesh who are very knowledgeable about the rights of women in Islam. Before thrashing out different delicate issues of NWDP, they should have been consulted and their views along with necessary references to the Holy Quran and Hadith should have been given due consideration.
