Heinous grenade attack


I very strongly condemn the heinous grenade attack on an AL rally on 21-8-04 that killed 19 people including AL leader Ivy Rahman and injured over 200 others. The motive of this attack was to assassinate Sheikh Hasina. Those who do not recognise Bangladesh as an independent and sovereign country, want to make Bangladesh a vassal state of outside powers and want to project Bangladesh internationally as a failed country must be behind this ghastly attack. They are the enemies of the country. So not only democracy but also the existence of Bangladesh is at stake.

Time is fast running out. Therefore, I humbly request both Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina to work together and unite the 140 million people of Bangladesh irrespective of party affiliation as one nation like that of 1971 and wipe out the enemies from the soil of Bangladesh.
