mukto-mona@yahoogroups.comSubject: Atrocities on Minorities Continued: Bhola is again on the news
Dear Mukto-Monas,
As if assault on minorities and violence against women, particularly on minor ones in BD become a regular phenomenon in our social life. We are gradually getting used it. The police have accepted it as normal thing, so they have nothing to do. Political leadership also accepted it as a norm of our life, nay it is a good way of keeping their armed cadres in good humour. My very good journalist friend Mobaswer Ali from Bhola has send the following report published in Sangbad.
