By freeing AL Chief Sheikh Hasina on parole, the Government has indeed shown a gesture of goodwill and genuine sympathy. This step, I am sure, will greatly help the present caretaker government to move ahead towards realizing its goal to holding a free and fair elections in the coming December.

Meanwhile it is sincerely expected that same type of gesture will be extended to BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia and her two ailing sons.

In fact, the common citizens of Bangladesh heartily want an end to all hostilities, chaos, confusions, and mistrusts. Let Bangladesh once again emerge as a democratic country where people can live happily and peacefully having two meals a day, thick cloth, and a small abode called 'home, sweet home'!
