Permanent solution is required
The country is facing hazardous times due to the continuous blockade-hartal enforced by BNP-led 20 party alliances. Their main motive is to compel the government to arrange a national election under a non-party caretaker government. This demand of BNP is nothing new as they boycotted the national election of January 5, 2014 for the same reason. It seems the government is giving little importance to their demand.
It is notable that no senior leaders of the alliances are seen on the streets in favour of their demand. The ultimate sufferer of this continuous blockade-hartal is the common people. Dhaka is nearly disconnected from the rest of the country. How long this hurtful situation will prolong? A permanent solution of the stalemate is very urgent.
However, only a national election under caretaker government or changing of the present government is not the only solution of this deadlock. If the major political parties can reach consensus on issues like formulation of a election time government for at least five national elections, role of the victorious party after election, publication of true history of the Liberation War and finally the trial of war crimes, then the political stalemate might be removed.
