Gopalganj
Why was situation that led to shooting created in Gopalganj
Even if all 63 districts of Bangladesh become devoid of the Awami League, there is still ample reason to believe that the party will continue to exist—and remain in a strong position—in Gopalganj, the birthplace of Bangabandhu and the location of his mausoleum. That is why Gopalganj is referred to as the "fortress" of the Awami League. The violence that erupted in that fortress or stronghold centring the programme of the National Citizen Party (NCP) has raised several questions. Some are even calculating who gained or lost from this incident. However, regardless of who may have benefited politically, no one suffered more loss than the parents, relatives, and friends of those who were killed. And those who lost their lives are now beyond all worldly gains and losses.
