Shocking indeed
An unclothed child lay on the footpath in a busy road in Dhaka city during the day and in the midst of all the traffic noise of the capital. Surprisingly enough, he made no sound, let alone cry in this heartless heart of the city. I paused to find nobody around him (baby), accosted to a nearby vendor who informed me that this fatherless baby's mother was at work somewhere, leaving her son on the footpath which he said was their home.
This anecdote unmasks the shady side of our society where humanity is at dire straits.
How long do we have to witness such traumatic scenes? Who is responsible for this? Does this scene evoke any emotion in our policy makers? When will our policy makers get back the gumption? When will they be united with a view to making a 'Shining Bangladesh', discarding the war of attrition?
