AL plan


Awami League (AL) is desperately trying to return to power. It had promised to overthrow the elected government by 30th April, 2004. And we knew what we would have to face-- absolute anarchy.

The prevailing situation in the country is very bad. It is getting worse day by day. But that does not mean that the government must step down. The people of this country have democratically elected the present government and an elected government must be allowed to complete its tenure. No party has the right to oust a government. Only the people have that right and the AL must wait till the next general elections, scheduled to be held in 2006.

But what happens next? Another party will take office and the opposition will begin their programmes of hartals, anarchy and vandalism to unseat the elected government.

Is it the fate of Bangladesh?
