This is just incredulous how the Awami League-led government succeeded in bringing every important sector of the country to a very precarious position: Education, banking, readymade garment, communications, law and order, share market, gas, power, and water... the list will go on. In short, everything around us is crumbling down. People have had enough unrest; they are unable to tolerate it anymore.

It seems that we are on a ship and those in charge do not know anything about navigation. This is so unfortunate; we never thought that our dream of a prosperous and peaceful country would be shattered like this.

Another ominous cloud is hanging over us... the issue of caretaker government. Awami League cannot discard it at its whims; people will not accept the election without it. So, the government must come to an understanding with the opposition political parties and form a neutral government to supervise the next general election. Otherwise the country will head towards a serious confrontational situation and the sufferings of the common people will know no bounds. The government has been entrusted to see to the welfare of the people, but they are doing the opposite.
