The case of cake and mineral water
A newspaper reported that in Bandar upazila at NJ there is an acute shortage of drinking water in public taps. The dwellers paraded the streets with empty containers and earthen pitchers voicing their anger. The little daughter of the municipal chairman observed it and told her father to supply mineral water immediately .
Should this incident remind one of the innocent daughter of the French Emperor Louis XIV when she had also asked her father to supply cake to the people while they violently demonstrated near the palace in Paris, as they had no bread to eat (and live)?
