The entire world is the society of Animan[Half-Animal and Half Human]. And Bangladesh is a society of Sub-Aiman [meaner than animan].
We post pictures and make so hue and cry even with trifler incidence if it serves our pleasantries, but people were beaten to death
[whatever party affiliation they had], like killing snakes or foxes.
But we didn’t see any condemnation from any leterati quarters. We see so much coverage for Nasim or Saber even if they get pushed down by polices and fake fainted.
Where are the Sushil Samaj! Are they deaf/dumb/blind? Their heart don’t get sobbed by these brutalities. Amnesty International expressed concerned and condemned these hellish abomination of humanity.
Where are our Human Right Groups!
The great adviser Sultana Kamal, the champion of human rights, per Zafa! Was she moved by these ruthless killings? How can she become humanist if her heart is only tethered
if a 14-party alliance or a left lineage
acitivist is killed but not for others!
Is this the definition of humanity?
Are there any individuals in 14-party alliance of conscience and compassion who could just get embarrassed by this barbaric killings and resign from this evil political affiliation.
I’m also surprised to see the whole media is in the hands of meanest of the animans!
This is an model of sub-animan society whatever differently it dons us as humanists or sushils.
Thanks.
