Those wretched beings
Md. Saiful Islam Khan, Dogormora,Savar ,Dhaka
A few days ago , I was returning home getting into a bus from Chankharpool bus stand. When the bus moved a bit, a tragic scene came into my sight. Three shabby and haggard persons including a woman were injecting themselves and undoubtedly they were pushing "Pathedine". Beside them, there was a dingy drain. The place could be a suitable one for dogs but certainly not for the best creation. There were some patrols on duty just a few feet away. I marvelled how such an incident could take place in broad daylight at the patrols' fingers' end, or is it such a normal activity that can be endured without any anxiety? At that moment some questions were arising in my mind: is it a sign of a normal and civilised atmosphere? Weren't these worthless fellows born in this world being as much spotless and innocent as the intellectuals and the celebrities were at the time of their being one of this world? Couldn't they have also been a scientist like Newton or literary figures like Shakespeare or Tagore? I concede the reality they had to carry out .. but don't we have anything to do for these ill-fated fellows?Should we let them go to the land of death without any endeavour to bring them back to light, that is the enlightened life? Just think about it that they also had three pairs of hands which could be transformed to some constructive elements by which the nation would be benefited. Everybody knows that thousands of people perish this way, bit by bit, and are leading the nation to an unknown, horrified destination. Finally , I would request the government, the concerned authorities and all the people of the country to give a more sympathetic hearing to the issue.
