Home Minister MKA and his colleagues have nothing to worry about the road safety and average loss of 3,300 lives every year in the hands of the killer drivers. After all, whenever they travel by road, they are guarded left, right, front and back by gun totting security forces in vehicles in order to stop even a fly that dares to approach them! There's a saying: 'What goes around, comes around.'

Being a Bangladeshi is no identity to reckon with and he or she is not entitled to claim any value to his life. Only the life of the government people has any value in our democracy. The common citizens are mere raw materials fit to be used for government's value addition.
