Sans talks, violence may spin out of control: NYT

Without an immediate genuine dialogue between Awami League and BNP, the prevailing violence in Bangladesh may “spin out of control,” US-based daily The New York Times says.

In an editorial published in its print edition yesterday, the daily blamed both opposition BNP and ruling Awami League for the prevailing political violence in the country.

“Unless both parties take immediate steps to pull back from entrenched positions, restrain violence and embark on a genuine dialogue to restore legitimacy to Bangladesh’s troubled democracy, the wave of violence engulfing the country risks spinning out of control.”
