The ultimate tragedy of Bangladeshi politics

A whole week slipped by when two sides of Bangladesh ground against one another like tectonic plates. A week ago, changes emitted the nation over as though a country was shaking in ache. Individuals existed in the
alarm of an approaching Armageddon between the two political camps that debilitated to toss this nation over to the Dark Age. They likewise existed in the tormented trust when the two matchless guides of this nation, notwithstanding the disruptive scene over a red phone, figured out how to converse with one another for 37 minutes! All around the week lesser guides were spitting condemnations like flashes flying from rubbing. The possibility of a compromise between two sides swung as an overactive pendulum. All that time it was looking for balance, this country had its nerves tense. It was a week that resembled the spin-offs of a dystopian activity film clustered inside its seven days. Groups of political activists wandered the lanes in their post-whole-world destroying frenzy as they conflicted with their adversaries and the law-implementation figures. Vehicles were burnt, houses and shops were gutted, mixed drinks were flung, firearms were let go and lamp fuel incited blazes moved on the streets like snakes affecting to the sound of a woodwind. Through and through, anyplace between fourteen and twenty lives were lost to viciousness. Hundreds were harmed. Despite the fact that the week was pressed with activities, it couldn't process even an ounce of result. That stupidity has been best epitomised by the phone discussion between the two guides telecast on Tv. The discussion has set a planet record for blowing something out of extent. Provided that one removes the redundancies, it could be held inside a portion of its span. The overstretched discussion from its begin was cursed. The head administrator continued dialing a number that didn't react for forty-five minutes. The Tv slots immediately broke the news that could be misjudged as though the restriction guide was deliberately escaping the call. Anyhow why did the head of government attempt an inert telephone for so long? Why didn't some person figure out after two-three tries if there was something the issue with the association? The resistance's reaction was likewise inexcusable. Whilst rest of the nation was viewing the breaking news on Tv, why didn't anybody in the gathering earnestly draw their pioneer's consideration? Why wouldn't someone be able to instantly advise the head administrator office that they were squandering time on the wrong telephone? The entire thing had the presence of a container ticking work out. The executive took just about a week to make the telephone call. When she did she demonstrated that she was welcoming the restriction guide as a component of her exertion to sit with all the political gatherings. Be that as it may from the amount of times she nagged one specific subject, it got a large portion of us befuddled why she had called. Did she call to demand lifting the hartal or welcome the resistance pioneer to a discourse? Our legislators are dependent on end of the world and they react to persistence with willfulness. The restriction guide adhered to her firearms. She declined to cancel the strike to oblige the leader welcome. The obnoxious truth here is that the fight of consciences went before national investment. Generally, the two pioneers may as well have assented to a commonly advantageous date in that one call. In the event that October 28 was not suitable for both, they may as well have finalised another date next nighttime or any night after that. A welcome to national compromise shouldn't be restrictive. None, of these if its acknowledgement. Crash of consciences couldn't be the main excuse for why, part of the deficiency lies in the arrangements for the talks. The Pm consultants didn't get ready her for an unmanageable rival. The restriction guide wasn't practiced to need the Pm carrot and stick recommendation. The deciding come about has been yet an alternate gridlock. The silver slug is currently dependent upon who is set to grab the telephone for the following adjust of talks. Consultants give counsel, however they likewise include indecencies on occasion. After the Bay of Pigs disaster, Us president John F Kennedy told his wife Jackie that assuming that all his existence he had realized a better way not to rely on upon the masters, he was inept that one opportunity to give them a chance to go ahead. Just to comprehend what Kennedy implied, Air Force General Thomas Power, who assumed a key part throughout the Cuban rocket emergency, fought that if at the close of the war there were two Americans and one Russian left vivified, America might have still won. The political confrontation a week ago was fuming with that controlling discord. It underscored the pointlessness of our political framework where individuals are hostage of legislators who are prisoners of their own disagreement. Two sides of the same coin, our pioneers are one self centered parcel in big-hearted attire. Head they win, head they lose. In a definitive catastrophe, the individuals lose without a doubt.
