“Trial, not talks”(February 12, 2015)

Dev Saha
This is a country where 'my way has become the highway'. People have no love for democracy but they love to use it as a slogan to fight for another day. We have essentially become the cheap thrill seekers of violence and drama. Loss of lives? Who cares?

The Prime Minister needs to be careful about what she says. If Khaleda Zia can be tried for the deaths of those who have been burned to death because she called the blockade, then what about the deaths that occurred in 1991-96 when she herself made similar calls, and in 2001-2006 when many more had died when she called her supporters on to the streets with "logi-boitha." In fact, during the present disturbances, Khaleda Zia is on record calling her party to conduct the movement peacefully while the police, RAB and BGB chiefs have openly said they would shoot to kill and in fact, many have already died in what they have described as "crossfire".

It seems that no amount of pressure would be able to divert her from the path she has taken vow of. We agree with her demand which is highly legitimate. Now the question is, how? Peacefully or through more destruction?

“BCL man hurt while making bombs” (February 12, 2015)

All these are the consequence of vote rigging drama of January 05, 2014.

That the BCL is involved in the current use of petrol bombs and violence is well known among the public but somehow the media is hiding this fact. When this current nightmare is over, the media will have to answer for its biased role.

People are not surprised at this news. A national daily carried out a report that many of the arrested (suspected) "bombers" were released from police custody in different places across the country with the help of local ruling party leaders who had "certified" in writing that the arrested suspects were ruling party activists. This mystery raises many eyebrows.

“Three BCL men awarded” (February 12, 2015)

In one instance, BCL activists are being arrested while making and throwing petrol bombs while in another, they are being rewarded by the Police. What is the guarantee that the whole thing is not a preset drama?
