Police brutality
I was against hartal till I saw the newspaper picture of brutal police boots smashing the face of a protester during the last week's hartal. While condemning the vandalism by Jamaat protesters, we cannot deny the fact that every political party has the right to press home their demands through peaceful demonstration. But unfortunately, police, instead of escorting the procession, pounce on it without the slightest provocation. Admittedly, the police do as they are instructed to do, but I still don't think they should necessarily be so mean as to push a human being to the ground and smash him under their boots. I think it is time we put a stop to such inhuman treatment by the police.
