Bangladeshis in Bahrain
We have been hearing news pouring in of the plight of Bangladeshis in Bahrain. Many of us have our relatives and friends as engineers, doctors, or teachers who have been residing in Bahrain for more than fifteen years. Bahrain does not have the expertise that Bangladesh has and, therefore, recruits professionals from our country who have contributed immensely to the development of Bahrain. What strikes me most are the abuses they are nowadays hurling on our professionals which are against human rights. For example, “You are a Bangladeshi. So you are a killer.” The fact is that there are murderers and criminals in every country. The law and order will deal with those lawbreakers. However, if you see a black crow, you cannot assume that all crows are black. Once, Mr. Gaddafi had a sour relationship with the white leadership and he went retorting that all French books must be burnt. The hazards that the innocent Bangladeshis are facing now must be handled peacefully and efficiently by the Bahrain government. Also, our government should extend its helping hand to resolve this problem.
