A shocking development has taken place where chief of Bangladesh opposition party Jamaat e Islami's Matiur rehman nizami has been executed in Dhaka on pretext of treason. It needs to be noted that with his execution the tally of hangings have reached 5 with four of them from Jamaat and one from BNP led by former prime minister Khalida zia, were executed last year. Astonishing fact, Saqqa chowdhury BNP was in Karachi when civil war happened in Bangladesh. It seems that sheikh Hasina is determined to eliminate opposition by hook or crook. Awami league has been silent on the wave of militancy and extremism across Bangladesh and plainly denies Al Qaeda and ISIS for this but seems like culprits are using same literature to target bloggers, activist and civil society members. Need of the hour is to remember the tripartite agreement sheikh Hasina's father, Founder of Bangladesh Mr Mujib ur Rehman signed in New Delhi where he pledged to forget the past and not to pursue criminal cases against people affiliated with east Pakistani establishment of the time. Sheikh Hasina must address the longstanding and chronic problems of the people like poverty, joblessness and eliminating extremism.
