Your esteemed daily photographed a rickshaw puller not being allowed to enter Gulshan- Banani as he was not appropriately clad! Go to: http://www.thedailystar.net/beta2/news/ban-slapped-on-lungi-clad-rickshaw-pullers/
After the tragedy in Mirpur, and seeing the rickshaw puller's photograph in your newspaper, would you agree that as a nation we need to reflect on how we treat our fellow citizens? Our poor young girls and boys make fashion cloths for faraway peoples. Hardworking people deserve respect and recognition and not disdain for their role in society. Those who make fashion clothes for foreigners, do it to subsist. A rickshaw puller sweats for food and impressing the foreigner is not his remit.
