A Shocked Nation

25th February 2009 was just another day for the people of our country. Most of us began the day with our daily struggles of toiling forward, completely oblivious to what was to happen in Pilkhana that very morning.

Now, after 36 hours of suspense and terror the chapter to the BDR revolt has been closed. The reason behind such horrific deeds is yet to be known. A mutiny by the suppressed soldiers against their officials is a cause to reckon with, but the means by which they had set out to get what they wanted is unacceptable.

We, at JAAGO, like the rest of the country are also in shock. We all are asking the same question, does the cause justify the means? Despite the answer to that question, the death of numerous officials cannot be denied. The loss of our country cannot be denied.

Hence we, at JAAGO, mourn those who have left us and offer our prayers for their souls. Let us take an oath of never letting such things be repeated on our land.
