kobiraaz BNP Jamat attempts and moves seem amateurish. The leaders seem to be catching at straws. Extending the March and andolon for tomorrow is a better move. Now the govt. will do the undeclared Hartal Oborodh, which is excellent. It should be continued indefinitely, that way it will be the govt. to blame for public sufferings.
The other good thing is that only one person died, that is an achievement for a big move like this. I think most people did not come out considering the risk of getting shot at.
In the bigger long term picture, Bangladesh as a country, mainly because of its geography (and also because of demography) was vulnerable from the beginning. Because of this vulnerability, 1971 war happened and because of this same vulnerability, today we lost democracy, under India's naked influence and sponsorship of Awami League.
I still get the feeling that only political activists like opposition BNP Jamat care about democracy, whereas the masses are not so much concerned about it, considering their difficult day to day lives.
I think people of Bangladesh have not had enough of Awami League yet. And if an angry public is not with you, it is very difficult for just political activists to overturn the Indo-Awami combine. In 1971 there was India ready to help us from 3 sides and even if the public gets angry enough, who will help us now? Through Myanmar and Bay of Bengal? Not much of a chance there either. The Army? Fat chance there as well, because Awami League under Indian instruction have filled it up with their cadres, just look at the other thread on Army.
I think Bangladesh is going into a dark period of Indo-Awami rule for the foreseeable future. And mostly I blame the incompetence of BNP for this, your leaders could not foresee this beforehand and India was much more competent than you to execute their plan and they have won. You have failed the people of Bangladesh. Sorry to say it.
