Why cry for them?
Reading the article entitled "If this government fails" by Mozammel H. Khan, one would wonders whether Mr. Khan's organisation is actually meant for human rights and democracy in Bangladesh or for upholding the interest of Sheikh Hasina. If human rights are the central issue, then the protest should have come over the first arrest made by this government without a court order. If we applaud the other arrests on similar charges, then on what ground we ask for different treatment to Sheikh Hasina (or for that matter Khaleda Zia)?
I am perplexed and dismayed at the double standard portrayed by some of our so called democratic-minded intellectuals. For me thinks if the current law does not allow prosecuting the corrupt politicians befitting their crimes, the government should use any means to contain them. Let's face the truth.
