Wantonness of some ruling party cadres
We are waiting for the day when the actions of the ruling party appendages make the news for the right, rather than the wrong reasons as is frequently the case nowadays. The level of immorality that has now been reached, as was made evident by the most depraved actions of the Bogra town Sramik League convener Tufan Sarkar and his cohorts, demand the immediate attention of the party leaders before such deeds become the norm.
A major problem society faces today is simply the predictable results of turning a blind eye to the misdeeds of those affiliated with powerful quarters over the years, which includes the extreme perversion that such individuals and groups perpetrate with the belief that they can literally get away with just about anything.
That is the only thing that explains the impudence of Sarkar, who abducted a female student from her home, raped her and then asked his party cadres and a woman councillor to make sure everything was hushed up. Shockingly, all his affiliates obliged by picking up the female student and her mother, torturing them for four hours and shaving their heads without a shred of conscience or shame.
The fact that the police have arrested some of the culprits is a positive step towards ensuring justice and we hope that the law is allowed to run its course without any interference. However, it is high time for the ruling party leaders to address the dangerous reality that some of its party members have become a nuisance for society, a torment for the citizenry, and a danger to the party.
