Why save Sohel Rana?

Khandaker Zia Hasan, Communication Trainer, Dhaka
Sohel Rana has killed over a thousand innocent garment workers and made thousand others maimed for the rest of their life. The European Union is considering trade action against Bangladesh in order to force Dhaka to improve the safety standards in RMG factories. We have come to know from the media that the cases filed against Sohel Rana are weak, and so we assume that he will not get the highest punishment. Our prime minister said in the parliament that Sohel Rana didn't belong to Awami League. According to the media, the local MP was trying to save him since the very beginning when the building collapsed. The question is, who or what is to be saved: the brutal killer of thousands of people or the garment industry?
