The recent turmoil in Bangladesh serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of unchecked public anger. The violence and bloodshed that has engulfed the nation is a grim testament to the destructive power of unbridled emotions. As we witness the chaos unfold, we are reminded that the democratic way is always the safest and most secure path for all.
The war of words, though heated and passionate, is always preferable to the war with the sword. The former allows for the exchange of ideas, the expression of dissent, and the possibility of finding common ground. The latter, on the other hand, leaves only destruction and despair in its wake.
The people of Kashmir, who have long suffered the consequences of conflict and violence, understand this reality all too well. They know that the dark side of public anger can lead to unimaginable suffering and pain. They know that the democratic way, though imperfect and often slow, is the only way to ensure that all voices are heard and all rights are protected.
As we reflect on the situation in Bangladesh, we are reminded that public anger, when left unchecked, can become a monster that consumes everything in its path. We are reminded that the democratic way, with all its imperfections, is the only way to ensure that the rights of all citizens are protected and that the rule of law prevails.
Let us learn from the lessons of Bangladesh and Kashmir. Let us choose the war of words over the war with the sword. Let us embrace the democratic way, with all its challenges and complexities, as the safest and most secure path for all.
