Lathi-Banshi Samity

It is painful to learn that the samity is now sharply divided. Some people are actively trying to defame it as they are not in a position to do their brisk business of extortion. By dividing the business people, who are members of the samity, they will resume extortion which is the main source of income for some political leaders and policemen.

As I was born in Natore, I have some idea about the leaders who are doing politics with this samity. There might have been some wrongs committed by the samity people. But this should not be an excuse for banning the samity and finally replace the leaders with government officials.

The sharp division within the samity people shows how a good initiative in our society leads to an abject failure. I urge all the business people, political leaders and all others concerned to come forward to rebuild the image of the samity.
