Test for real mother

All of us are familiar with the test Prophet Sulaiman (A) put two disputing mothers to for identification of the genuine one. While passing through these days of strike, blockade, petrol bombs and a period of persistent denial to hold talks for an amicable settlement, one is reminded of the historic real mother test. Although two mothers were fighting over the motherhood of a single child, the real mother was identified through the test. Today both Begum Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina claim that each one of them is toeing the right path showing scant respect for the peoples' views, even though innocent SSC examinees suffer, people are burnt alive, economy being affected and humanity being trampled.

The people of the country are desperate to get out of this dark dungeon. What are the two leaders aiming at? Do they want the country to be divided equally and given to them? Will some one like Prophet Sulaiman (A) appear to settle the issue? Most people earn their living through hard labour and have very little time to waste. We all pray for a saviour to arrive and salvage us from the pains and sufferings that we are going through.
