Pilkhana tragedy
What does the report of a jeep-load of outsiders entering the barrack and joining the jawans point to?
PM Sheikh Hasina's dealing with the most critical situation came and is still coming under fire, especially from the opposition (BNP). But we the people who were glued to the TV from 9:00am on 25 February found her taking every conceivable step; she had to give serious thoughts to disarming the derailed BDR jawans, and saving the lives of the officers and their families. But the betrayers went to the PM and lied to her that there had been no mass killing. We also watched the red-masked jawans replying to the reporters that only one or two persons were killed. So, blaming the government squarely for the loss of the officers' lives would be unfair and unkind.
We cannot endorse the opposition's stand on the issue.
