The unfair 'oborodh'

The action of the 14-party alliance led by the Awami League clearly shows that they consider Bangladesh as their fiefdom and the people of Bangladesh pawns in their game.

A party or an alliance that holds trade and commerce and rights of freedom hostage, burns buses and uproots railroad tracks and then claims that it is being done to protect our democratic rights has to be condemned.

With her children enjoying the safety and security of living in the USA, Sheikh Hasina could damn care about the plight of the children (or their parents) in the face of this blockade. When the political system does not favour them, the Awami League cries "fundamentalism" and resorts to an international smear campaign against Bangladesh abroad and demands intervention of the FBI. Yet, when they resort to violence and blockade, they never question their own actions.
