When data is presented like this it is most effective. This is a damning indictement of the previous Government's approach. I pray our current Governmnet gets a grip on extra judicial killings, the general law and order situation and on the police force.
The current situation is in the absence of BNP and Jamaat on our streets.
In the second half of 2010 BNP and Jamaat will return to the streets - unless they made a deal with the CTG to keep offf the streets for longer.
We don't want any more violent clashes and loss of innocent life.
