Living with qualms
I can never forget those days, when police arrested my sister, an aunt & a cousin along with some innocent school going children from a bus when they were returning from Shaheed Minar. They were taken to the Motijheel Police Station. Next day, they were sentenced to three days' jail without proper trial & sent to the Dhaka Central Jail during the April 30, 2004 crisis.
The incident that took place still haunts the children who went to Shaheed Minar with their elders to visit the place. At that time police
arrested thousands of innocent people. Yes, such is the democracy of our country.
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. It's my notion that the present government is a semi-fascist one in the guise of democracy. There is fear everywhere.
After 33 years of independence, a girl killed herself because she had no food to eat. It's a national shame.
