In a recent incident in Satkhira, where a mob attacked a guy who was accused of hurting religious sentiments. The mob attacked twice, and the second attack happened right at the hospital where they ensured his death. His family members tried to defend him by claiming he was mentally unstable. Clearly, they said that because they’re too afraid to call it an injustice. Even if he were not mentally unstable, does it validate or in any way justify such an incident?
Has any legal action been taken regarding this incident or police is just waiting for someone to file a case? I'm almost sure no legal action has been taken, primarily because no one has filed any complain and secondly it was a mob and no single individual can be traced. The primary reason is pretty logical though. If any family member comes forward to file a case, there is a high possibility of them being targeted by another mob as the government will fail to ensure their security. And the second cause is kinda looking like an establishment of long run ignorance. And, at least this government can't fix it.
I have to say that, our current government fears the radical group of people in our country. Far from taking action in such an incident, they do not even have the guts to openly admit that the incident was unlawful and inappropriate. Not even a single responsible person from our government has spoken about this issue. It looks like they're trying to avoid this issue as much as possible because if they say something, their statement will offend a massive group of people. It clearly shows how much the government fears the jongis of this country.
I wonder how the leftists also choose to remain silent. And, I do not want to talk about the student(NCP) leaders because they lost their credibility and showed their real faces long ago. In fact, the mob was introduced by them after the so called revolution. But the disappointing thing is, people thought these young leaders are much more progressive and liberal than any other political party out there, they're against any kind of violence, they believe in secularism, freethinking and most importantly freedom of speech. But they proved us wrong. I remember those days when students expected them to take action to ban student politics on university campus, but they ended up starting politics themselves and formed ties with Jamaat immediately after stepping into politics. That was an insane mockery.
Coming back to the recent issue, I never support hurting anyone's religious sentiments under any circumstances. But honestly it seems so selective in our country. Take the recent incident at Jagannath university where students cooked beef right in front of a Hindu temple. Doesn't that hurt religious sentiments? When university authority took action, they started protesting over it. If you think they were giving justification of their act, you’re completely wrong. Their protest was all about making a threat and showing that it’s their right to cook and eat beef in front of Hindu temple, no matter whose religious sentiments get hurt. The same group of people turns 180 degrees when it happens to their own sentiments. Most surprisingly, young educated university students are doing this, who’re considered as the future of our country.
Lastly, In early days you supported the mob and even attached the word justice to it because it was only targeting the Awami League. As a result, it is now completely uncontrollable and has become a systemic crisis.
