Slavery in Bangladesh!
This matter of shackling and cruel confinement of poor helpless villagers by a brickfield owner was published in most dailies on 27th January and some even published the picture of the shackled victims. This is a shameful and shockingly unbelievable event far beyond the norms of a civilised society! It is a slap in the face of our struggle to take Bangladesh out of the grim stigma of poverty; which should be a matter of urgency and a national priority for us!
The owners of this enterprise, who should not be allowed to carry out these heinous activities, must be given the harshest possible punishment for this inhuman crime beyond imagination! We should "throw the book of punishment" at them, as the saying goes.
These are the people who bring shame to the nation, and in that context they are enemies of the nation. They should be publicly identified, and their background and details be published in all dailies and presented in the audio-visual media; so that we all can identify them, and ostracize them from any social contacts. Please follow up on the matter, and provide more details about such criminals.
