violence is part of Bangladeshi politics, awami league does it and so does BNP. Its the way of the land. Hunger strike and peaceful protest does not do jack unless it is government backed.
To aazidane and @
PlanetSoldier who thanked his post,
Sorry to disappoint you both and what seems your liking for political violence.
1. Muslim Bengal has existed before without political violence and it will do so again.
2. It can be done, has been done, and will be done, whether you like it (which it seems you do) or not.
The most recent example was the 2 years of the Fakhruddin administration.
3. We the people of Bangladesh (I am not a member of any party like one person here, not someone with business interests in Bangladesh seeking to make money from political connections like someone else here, or from the rich elite, I am from a simple Bangladeshi family like 150 million others) are sick and tired of thugs, political activists, greedy businessmen and others ruining our lives by organizing hartals. If they want political violence let them go in to a boxing ring and fight each other.
In this day and age of social media the Bangladeshi people will speak out more and more against political violence.
A social consensus will be formed.
Laws can be passed.
It won't be easy. It will take time but with the nasr of Allah ta'ala it will help.
I will not elaborate on the legislative measures that can be enacted and other things as this place is not really a serious discussion forum but many things can be done.
You may ridicule me. However I for one will speak out against political violence from any group. You will ridicule me however what you fail to realize is this is a webpage. Merely speaking out against political violence involves no major effort apart from typing. Slowly, slowly the social consensus against political violence and thuggery will become so strong that Bangladesh will become more like Malaysia, Thailand etc.
Many of you on this forum sit behind keyboards in comfort while peoples lives are being destroyed and watch as voyeurs as thugs attack and murder people. Some of you here are connected to political parties.
I am a normal Bangladeshi and I can tell you for a fact that despite your love for political violence and thuggery
it will - and I repeat - it will end.
Maybe not in the next 5 years but in years to come it will end.
Just as Fazle Hasan Abed started BRAC and has now created the biggest and best NGO in the world.
Just as other Bangladeshis have done many other great things, we Bangladeshis will end the culture of political violence.
