Land grabbing
Land grabbing, loan defaulting, non-effectiveness of parliament, ailing condition of democracy, widespread corruption, white collar cheating, tax dodging, soaring prices of the essentials, government's contemplation to further increase the prices of gas, kerosene diesel etc. have now become burning issues. We have so many political parties. They are to voice the grievances of the common people. But unfortunately in most of the issues we do not hear the voices of the political parties. We hear their voices on political issues only. They demand the government to step down. They want hartal etc. etc. These voices we no more want to hear. We want to hear the voices which will give us peace, prosperity and equality before the law and other rights that we are entitled to. Some lawmakers have reportedly grabbed lands. They grabbed power and power grabbed the lands.
We attentively hear the words of these land grabbers. We salute the loan defaulters. We make them preside over functions of different kinds. We garland them. Now we should think twice before paying our respect to such people. Thanks to the DS for its attempt to bring the cat out of the bag and to unearth so many facts about those people. It is the media which helped unearth the "Watergate Scandal" that ultimately forced Richard Nixon to step down from US presidency.
We hope investigative reports of The Daily Star will help create awareness regarding different social maladies.
