Bomb blast at the shrine
Iqbal Ahmed, New Eskaton, Dhaka
I very strongly condemn the bomb blast at the holy shrine of Hazrat Shahjalal (RA) on 21-5-04, in which two people were killed and many more injured, including the British High Commissioner, Mr. Anwar Chowdhury, and the DC of Sylhet, Mr. Abul Hossain. It is not an isolated event. In the past also, bombs were blasted at the shrines and tortoise and fish of various shrines were poisoned to death. The criminals are implementing their agenda, in the name of religion, in a systematic way at the shrines in order to make Bangladesh a fundamentalist country. My humble request to the government, "Please do not sit idle and watch it helplessly. Take stern action against the criminals ."
