Adulteration in food during Ramadan!

News entitled “Special drives in Ramadan against food adulteration” in The Daily Star of 1st August drew my attention. This drive will continue during the whole month of Ramadan. That news indicates that our unethical and corrupt activities increase more during the holy month of Ramadan than the rest of the months of the year. In our country it is difficult to find out any food item or fruit which is free from chemical or other harmful elements. But as a Muslim nation such attitude is disgraceful for us. Islam teaches us to live in an honest way. In my opinion, social awareness is very urgent for peaceful living. No drive will eliminate adulteration in food and corruption in the society until and unless we follow the teachings of Islam and change our corrupt mindset. How many places will the law enforcing agencies or BSTI go to find out the dishonest businessmen? Only moral lesson can change our corrupt mindset.
