The defenning silence

The deafening silence of echoes from the past

NM Harun

What is certain is that the powers that be are finding the prolongation of the queer Fakhruddin government increasingly problematic. Hence all the talk about dialogues between the government and the political parties or the disclaimer about the military’s support for constitutionalism and their non-interest in takeover of power. Concerns are also expressed by sections of civil society about plausible ‘exit formulas’ of the emergency rulers. These are signs of power struggle among the rulers themselves and not of political development …One wonders what kind of solution the powers that be may come up with for the real world problem of power struggle through the application of the process of elimination of the exotic political formulas and schemes. That will determine the course of politics in the near future.................
