Rab

I fully support the views of Mohammad Ataul Hoque and Murshid concerning Rab, which have been expressed in their letters that were published a few days back in The Daily Star.

We are baffled by the attitude of the Awami League and the words of Sheikh Hasina about Rab's actions. When people all over the country are happy and praising Rab for their sincere efforts to contain crime, and they have succeeded to a great extent in their mission, instead of uttering words of appreciation, the Awami League has started blaming them. The party is trying to imply that Rab's actions are politically motivated and Sheikh Hasina openly said, "Rab is Khaled Zia's Bahini." But we know very well that Rab is not sparing anybody.

Therefore, for their own good, the Awami League should stop saying anything against Rab's activities because people have started wondering whether the party really cares for the people, wants them to live in peace, or prefers chaos and anarchy to prevail in the country. We hope the AL will support the government in its efforts to curb crime.
