Fulbaria killings
Rafiqul Islam Rime, Agrabad, Chittagong
The nation once again watched, with much awe, the anarchy that has been let loose by the ruling coalition. The police and the BDR fired bullets and killed seven people at random. This barbaric act reminds one of the Pakistani brutalities against the Bengalees. This killing is more atrocious and ominous because those lost souls had been living in a land that got freedom through a concerted armed struggle against the Pakistani occupation forces in 1971. Their unfortunate deaths reveal the vulnerability of lives in this independent country. One might be reminded of other sad incidents like Shanir Akhra and Kansat where people lost their precious lives in the same manner. At this crucial juncture, one hopes that sanity and patriotism will prevail across the political horizon.
