The Dhaka Times Desk Strike is a tool of people's rights. But lately the hartal has gradually taken a violent destructive form. Common people are the victims. 14 such people are currently living in hospital with their binoculars.
In civilized society many such incidents which could not be desired by anyone have become a cause of concern for all of us. What is happening in the current strike is a shame for civilized society. Sometimes ordinary people like Biswajit are being hacked to death. Sometimes petrol is poured into cars and they are set on fire and burnt alive. Can such an event be desirable for anyone?
It is natural that society and society will have various inconsistencies. But when the common man has to be victimized, there is nothing to say or do. We know that hartal-strike is for people's right to vote. But in that strike, the common people are being burnt again. Some people cannot play with people's lives like this in the name of strike. It is natural that the strike will be supported by all. Because the people will always preserve the right to vote. And so why strike will do more if necessary to get their rights. But only cowards can do things like burning people alive.
14 people are under treatment in the hospital due to violence during the strike. In the last two weeks, 44 people have been burned by cocktails. At least two of them died. They are not the leaders of any political party. They were attacked by a cocktail of miscreants and strikers while walking on the road or returning home by car. If these low-income people do not work for a day, the family does not get food. Among them are car helpers, drivers, garment workers, shop employees. The injured are now in the hospital beside their next of kin just crying. What was wrong with them? They didn't go out from their houses to the streets to hold processions and meetings. Couldn't attend any meetings. He went to work to provide food for himself and his family members. Bus passenger Mithu was burnt by a petrol bomb thrown by strikers at Shahbagh on Saturday night before the start of the 84-hour strike and driver Sabu Akhtar was burnt by fire in a pickup van at Dhanmondi. Who will pay for this disaster? This question has appeared big to the nation today.
