Bangla Bhai, where are you?

Starting from the TIME magazine to the local newspapers, Bangla Bhai is a name found regularly now-a-days. Be it the media, or the home minister or the prime minister, everybody is concerned about the horrendous criminal activities committed by Bangla Bhai's group. The country is witnessing some barbarous acts done by this man, specially in the northwestern region. He has built up a strong network called the Jagrata Muslim Janata, Bangladesh (JMJB) to carry out frequent attacks on their perceived enemies.

A long time back, the media brought his evil acts before us. But the government's handling of the issue has always been dubious.

Now, is the time when we need to think about it seriously. We, the common people, cannot and will not let a small group of fanatics destroy our style of living. The people of Bagmara village are living dangerously amid constant fear. People should respond to this menace. We should not forget the fact that it is only the people who can force the government to arrest a criminal like Bangla Bhai.

The majority cannot pay the price for the wrong doings of a small group of extremists. WE WANT JUSTICE!
