We want peace and stability in the country.
Using issues like this to devide the country to creat
fight between brothers will not serve our country.
Bangladesh is a muslim country, India is a hindu
country and USA is a christian country, nothing wrong
with that. Majority in the country will determine the
law of the country. I am not a supporter of Islamic
parties but it will be unfare for the people of
bangladesh to ban Islamic Party.
There may be incentive for some elements to prove
bangladesh as a failed state.
We need to see the big picture.
