Freedom at stake
Our freedom is at stake for sure. If the people/citizens do not get protection and feel safe in their own homes, then who can say we are a free country? When the clock turned to midnight of June 11 a television channel reportedly showed their muscle power and tried to evict the original resident out of his 69 Gulshan Avenue home. What a shame, why they had to show muscle power and why at night if they did rightfully buy the land from the owner?
I do not know the owner personally and I am sure he is the rightful owner, as people residing in the neighbourhood know him according to the reports published in the newspapers. The other surprising news was the role of the police. The police reportedly refused to arrest the 11 men already tied up by the security guards of the area.
This is the news that the Bangladeshi people did not want to hear after the January elections as the present government made a lot of promises for the people's welfare.
We the citizens protest this and we would love to see how the government and the police respond to tackle this situation.
No one has learnt from the January 11 and it seems this new generation of wealthy Bangladeshis will never learn anything.
