Government's policy
I am very keen to know whether the government is seeking loopholes of law for using them against those who differ with its opinion, because
1. An Editor (Mr. Mahmudur Rahman) of a national daily (the Dainik Amar Desh) was arrested and detained and the publication of that newspaper has already been stopped. We guess this was done because of his and his publications taking a stand against the activities of the government.
2. Hartal convened by the Bangladesh Nationalists Party (BNP) faced indescribable torture. Injury and detention of BNP activists and leaders during the day of hartal became a matter of concern for every conscious citizen of the country.
3. Jamaat leaders (Motiur Rahman Nizami, Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojahid and Maolana Delwar Hossain Sayedee) were arrested and are now under remand. My concern increases thinking the nature of the allegations brought against them.
4. Though Jamaat leaders were arrested on charges of hurting the religious sentiment of the people, now they are shown detained under the cases filed earlier.
5. A lot of Jamaat - Shibir leaders are now under detention.
Why such oppression against opposition? History teaches us that no action goes without reaction. The government should stop its malicious and undemocratic actions.
