Fight for the rule of law
It is a good sign that people have started to assert themselves in the face of medieval mentality of a few ruling party cadres. Imran Hossain, an employee of Nur Optics of Patuatuli, who resisted the ruling party cadres who took away sunglasses without paying, represents the spirit of Liberation . It is the spirit that guided the people to fought British and Pakistani rulers in the past. Let us not downplay this incident that involved both looting and stabbing of innocent traders. Let us not let go the criminals only because they are part of the power structure. Pardoning them has already pampered them so much that they no behave like lords. Let us fight a final battle against obscurantism, religious extremism only for establishing the rule of law. Can't we be united for this great cause?
