These Bombing incidence does not need to be treated with importance but with extreme urgency &
with thuderous Ironic hands.
Are they really insiders or outsiders, I suggested
the lost people may send Torjan horses under the guise of others. They are running under viels , Our GOVT need to be vigilant all the time.
When Bangladeshi people were breathing with a liitle peace after three decades, these evil minded people entered with dirty wars.
They are not only enemy of Bangladesh, they are enemy of Islam in true sense.
Unite you all to catch & punish these anarchysts.
Thank you
