Don't export housemaids
The recent news item regarding export of maid servants from Bangladesh to Saudi Arabia is very disturbing. The inhuman torture and maltreatment of domestic helps in the Middle East in general and Saudi Arabia, in particular is well known. I think successive governments of Bangladesh in the past did not allow export of domestic helps to the region for this reason.
It is sad that the present rulers of Bangladesh have taken such a decision jeopardising the life and dignity of the innocent and vulnerable section of our society. I urge the prime minister to rescind the decision immediately.
