LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
letters@thedailystar.net
We need leadership that can meet present challenge We Bangladeshis have fought for our language as well as our liberation. The traitors of the country must be punished for the atrocities they committed. It is our right to try them. Didn't the people they killed have the right to live? Didn’t the 3 million innocent Bangalees have the right to live? Where were Human Rights then?
And does the U.S. sponsor BNP-Jamaat alliance? What happened to their so-called AntiIslamist ideology? If BNP comes to power, extremism will follow, thanks to Jamaat. If AL comes to power, the country will see a civil war. We need new leaders. The world has changed and our political leaders must cope with the change. It's time to wake up.

Another victory in the month of victory
We have achieved another victory in this month of victory with the execution of Qader Mollah. Nation has waited for 42 years. We never forgot for a moment the screams of Pallab, poetess Mehrunnesa, Abu taleb, a mother Ameena, Hazrat Ali and 344 other people who had been the victims of this butcher's cruelty. Perhaps 30 lac martyrs' souls could be consoled with his execution. But this is not the end, because we are still waiting to see the execution of other war criminals.

Have we lost our rebellious spirit?
A few days ago, 19 people got fatally burnt on a moving vehicle in the capital and some of them died. 1 don't understand what the government is doing. If it can't stop these miscreants, I think it's people's turn to take to street and wipe them out.
In 1971 our ancestors freed the country by fighting a bloody war. But now our rebellious spirit is dead. We can only roar on Facebook. But in reality we only think about ourselves. How can we become so selfish? How can we let this situation go on?

Hasina, Khaleda, or whoever else has a role in the political violence that claimed hundreds of lives should be put on trial. They must be held accountable for all the crimes and deaths. Grime is crime, whether it happened during the Liberation War or after.

Good writing, but in your conclusion you said two things:
1 ."The BNP must accept responsibility..."
2."Thegovt, has responsibility...."
Why is that? The government has the responsibility to ensure safety and security of its citizens. They have failed and lost the moral authority to stay in power. Everyone knows they are the ones who have created this problem.

We all agree that politics of killing must stop, but unfortunately it's just accelerating. The law enforcing agencies and the democratically elected autocratic government are making things difficult for us. One party rule, uncontested election and seat selection are signs of systematic destruction and we hope all sensible people will stand against it.

When any government fails to run the country responsibly it should resign. When any government fails to ensure safety of people and their properties, it should resign. That is the norm in civilised countries.

Violence has not only been created by Jamaat-Shibir activists. Police, RAB, BGB and Awami thugs have done the same also. It has been reported that police is firing on people from a point blank range. Police fired on the legs of Jamaat-Shibir activists in custody. Both the parties are equally involved in terrorism, none less than the other.
Whatever you say Mr. Editor, bringing back a level playing field will require more than a year in Bangladesh.

The government in office is always responsible for keeping its citizens safe not others.

Let's not overlook whose ruthless and despotic actions to remain in power have resulted in such loss of human lives.
