Some rule, some law!
This refers to an article published in your daily of September 16 under the above caption. I wish to congratulate writer Shahedul Anam Khan for an article well written. Issues he has dealt with in the article, to say the least, are matters of grave concern for the people and the nation at large. It is indeed sad to see the erosion of the moral and ethical content of two of the most important functionaries of the government and the state, namely the police and the judiciary. People all over the country are shocked and dismayed by the events. We have systematically made the sacred office of the highest authority of the country, namely the office of the president, controversial too. The situation of the police is so bad that it is pointless to even talk about it.
A nation that indulges in such acts by design or by default simply does not have the moral authority to call it a civilised nation. It has always been my standing that we may be poor but we need not conduct ourselves poorly. What legacy are we going to leave behind for our future generation?
Thanks to Mr. Khan for being forthright in his observation.
