Hartal continues
Tahsin Hyder Lake Circus, Kalabagan, Dhaka
It is not just a story of the upcoming elections, but has become a continuous process of political development. The word "hartal" that originally means "to strike or protest" now means---the time when the opposition parties would fight against police; offices, bank and shops "would" be closed (not any bank belonging to a protester), believing in our fate that nothing would happen when we go out, and so on. Oh yes, one more thing: no private cars allowed. They, the protesters, say the police attacked them. Nevertheless, they neither explain how they get such large amount of brick pieces for hundreds of workers in such a short time, nor do they say why they destroy public property.
