Human chains

There are 365 days in a year and the official holiday list contains at least 69 days. But the number of human chains organised so far has exceeded the total number of the days of this year. Human chains have been and are being staged in protest of misdemeanour of garments owners with employees, indecent proposal of teachers to their female students, procrastination in disposal of files, police torture, corruption of land officials, autocracy of house owners with their tenants, price-hike, dismantling of Gulistan Cinema , demanding arrest of a VC, trial of Hundi Kajal, write-off of loans of employees, supply of needles and sewing machines, legislation on rights of house-maids, transfer of bureaucrats, trial of eve teasers, killer bus-driver, rights for singing during ablution, arrest of "Durjan Ubach" for his satiric writing, land grabbers, trial of Bush including granting Bangladeshis free immigration rights to the US, removal of garbage from Gulshan and Uttara, arrest of conspirators, and so on and so forth!

It is amusing and alarming that these same people tried to draw the attention of authorities by staging mass-hunger strike (with no casualty/martyrdom since 1972), burial-dress (kafan) procession, submission of memorandum, press release, press conference, calling names, arson and demonstration.

The latest antibiotic is the human-chain to which people are increasingly contributing now. On the same day we are watching 3 to 4 human chains throughout the country. Will the people think over this issue, please?
