Most of these narrators have no interest in the past and to be honest no interest in Bangladesh and certainly not in the Awami League or the BNP. This makes them disdainful of the present too. They are just witnesses, reluctant ones, who have spoken because someone they trust stalked them for weeks, often months. We are grateful that we did. For once they should be recognised as what they really are: witnesses, no more, no less. It's their own history narrated by them with no purpose except to tell it as it was.
