Thus the government was blissfully unaware that the general mass of the people ware fuming silently, businessmen in particular. As Awami League found out much to its chagrin, the voters are smarter than what the politicians thought them to be. Front organisations of political parties can be more liability than asset. They are instrumental in losing elections, not winning them. The new BNP government must take a very close look at its front organisations to ascertain their utility in future elections.
Terrorism is a direct outcome of the front organisations.
There was a time when these front organisations, mostly trade and workers' unions, were instrumental in manipulating election results. Fortunately for the nation, the utility of these unions in national elections have been totally marginalised by the Non Partisan Caretaker Government. In fact they have now become a downright liability. Their antics are no longer appreciated by the people, the voters. If future caretaker governments can ensure peaceful voting, the sooner the political parties get rid of their front organisations the better.
