Timely commentary
Sentinel of '71 Dhaka
You deserve kudos for your commentary on the Kansat tragedy. You have explained a situation that defies all logic and very rightly put forth a host of questions that any citizen with a conscience should be able to answer. The million-dollar question is--do we have the same breed of sensible politicians with a conscience who could possibly answer some of these questions better?How indifferent the power structure can be to a situation that developed from a mere demand for electricity to that of mindless killing of innocent villagers is for all to see. In everything that goes wrong, the government smells opposition politics and manipulation only. It does not bother to look for remedies and address the core issue (typical of the Paki days we witnessed for long 24 years). Such an attitude borders on hallucination and has now come to be notoriously known as 'the phobia' for BNP- Jamaat ruling alliance. I would also like to thank you for your summary of the political situation that you so aptly described during the recent TV show hosted by BBC on Bangladesh. As a viewer, I thought you took the words out of our mouths and spilled the beans for those who tend to walk blindfolded.
