Crime and punishment

Mahmudur Rahman, Gulshan, Dhaka
The nation is aghast, stunned into silence at the indescribable acts of violence at BDR Headquarters at Pilkhana recently. It is only logical and fair to demand exemplary punishment to the conspirators, perpetrators and their cohorts. However I would like to raise an issue that seems to have escaped most of us. The disciplined BDR jawans who risked their own lives to protect the army officers and their families should be duly and suitably rewarded for their heroic deeds. My prayers for the salvation of the souls of those martyrs.
