Civil unrest

In the last 48 hours quite a few things have happened where I am in Bangladesh.

I relative of mine has been killed. He had nothing to do with supporting or not supporting the death sentence given at the War Crimes Tribunal. Just a lay person going about his day. At this stage it is not known whether the group of guys that attacked him were Shibir (Jamaat student wing), Chatra League (Awami League student wing) or Chatra Dal (BNP student wing). What I do know is that all three groups are beating each other up or any related to an opposition party.

• A local restaurant has been ransacked after Chatra League goons demanded 400 portions of food for their party to celebrate the death sentence for Sayeedi which the restaurant refused.
• A local motor showroom has been damaged causing lakhs (1 lakh = 100000) of damage in vehicles because the owner is known supporter of Jamaat.
• A local chain of restaurants has been vandalized after refusing serve Chatra League goons who again demanded food for their party.

This is creating a lot of hatred and anger. This can only leader to major civil unrest and division. Chatra Dal and Shibir goons are looking for 'targets' to attack as revenge for Chatra League goons doings.


Amar shunar bangla ... what a joke you are.
