Police and politicians
We, the common citizens, are now worried about the political situation. Do these politicians really care for their people? They care for their "party men" first, and then the "countrymen".
I feel sorry for the members of police. For a long time the impression given by our politicians about this police force is - they are bad, so throw stones at them! They are not honest, they are an oppressive force. Time and again the politicians have portrayed the police not as custodians, but as enemies of the people.
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. I earnestly request the politicians, the journalists and all others concerned to take steps to promote the idea that police are here to help us. This education is a must now in this chaotic modern world.
Yes! Those policemen who misused their power in Chittagong committed an unpardonable crime. But this is not desirable in any democratic society.
