Political Violence in Bangladesh

Introduction:
The Political atmosphere of Bangladesh is passing a crucial moment at
present time. The situation is marked by the sporadic violence between
the law enforcing agencies and political opposition partys conflict
throughout the whole country. No one does feel safety and security in
such circumstances. Outrageous attack and firing on minority
communitys houses, prayer places including temples, pagodas, and
churches are daily scenarios of electronic and print Medias. These
attacks are to get political benefit. Furthermore, another crucial issues is
whether Hartal (shutdown) should be banned or not for its widespread
negative impact on the overall development of Bangladesh including
economy, education, communication, Foreign Direct Investment, and the
national prestige in international arena. In the question of Hartal,
majority percent people dont support it. Another important matter of
debate at present time is the Islamic politics. Our study shows that
majority percent peoples support it. Hence majority percent population
said that the Shah-Bag movement has created division I the politics of
Bangladesh. Police raid into the main opposition partys central office
have seen as a bad indicator for the democracy of Bangladesh by the
general people of Bangladesh. Majority percent populations also think
that there is an international linkage in the contemporary political crisis
of Bangladesh. The interference by the foreign diplomats into the
internal matters of Bangladesh has been seen as breaches of sovereignty
and national interest of Bangladesh. The initiatives of civil society to
settle the dispute by the process of mediation has positive response and
hope among the general people. But peoples expressed their strong view
that only negotiation between major political parties over contentious
issue can resolve the contemporary political crisis of Bangladesh.
