Thank you for the clarification. Either way, its always a case of not holding one's political oparty accountable. Blame the weather, blame the topography, blame humanity, blame the way God created man. But never, ever, hold your party leader accountable for murder committed in the name of your party.

AL leader Dr. Ainal Haque was killed as a sequel to Alam killing on the same day. Contrary to what you said in the post, Babu actually helped Zakir after his father's gruesome murder. See the message below for more details.

He was aggressive and always tried to remain in the limelight in different ways. Overconfident of not becoming the target of his political rivals, he aimed at becoming a lawmaker in the next election.

Ending the thirst for revenge is the only way to bring peace or else the bloodshed will continue.
