BNP committing political hara-kiri

Five consecutive victories in mayoral elections (including Gazipur, an AL stronghold) just prior to  the January 5, 2014 election indicated to BNP which way the wind was blowing. But they insisted on having everything their way as a condition to join the election. They forgot that saying no all the time is no good.

 From the current course of events, it appears that BNP is bent on committing hara-kiri. From the milkman in Pabna to the banana growers in the hills, from the irate parents of 15 lakh SSC candidates to the burn victims in DMCH, people are seething in anger. 

For a stable democracy we need two strong parties seeking people's approval. That approval cannot be obtained by hurting the people. The civil society has called for an end to the violence through meaningful talks; it is high time both BNP and AL paid heed to their call.
