Government's role disappointing over Gazipur incidents
What a horrific scene! A group of youths are hacking and slitting a journalist's throat on the street! A video circulating on social media shows a man being murdered in a festive atmosphere. If there were any signs of anger on the faces of the murderers, it could still be said that this is an expression of some kind of anger. But what can we say about these gruesome murderers with smiling faces? In another video, a journalist is seen being beaten up indiscriminately by a group of youths in presence of police. They are pelting him with brick. Such a brutal murder and beating scene on the street would leave any sensitive person speechless and shocked. Both the one who was murdered and the one who was beaten up and seriously injured are local journalists. This is not the first incident of journalist torture in Bangladesh. But this is the first time that the horrific scene of a journalist being murdered on the street in front of hundreds of people has been seen.
Recover all looted weapons before election
During the July uprising, unruly mobs and violent groups attacked various police stations and outposts across the country—including the capital Dhaka and port city Chattogram—resulting in the looting of police weapons and ammunition. Many of these arms still remain in the hands of the attackers. Over the past year, numerous reports and complaints have surfaced indicating that these weapons are being used by criminals in murders, extortion, robberies, and muggings.
Why law and order situation still uncontrolled a year after mass uprising
Bangladesh is currently going through a phase of commemorating the mass uprising. Through various events, the unprecedented fiery moments of last year are being remembered with pride. But it must also be said with regret that the uprising is perhaps not being remembered with the brightness it deserves. The reason for this lies in a sense of insecurity among the people. This insecurity is not only about day-to-day life, but also about the future of Bangladesh. On one hand, the deterioration of law and order threatens public safety, and on the other, economic and political instability also leaves citizens feeling insecure about the future.
Cases pile at Money Loan Court
The number of settlements in the Money Loan Court, the last resort for recovery of defaulted loans, is very low, even though the number of cases is piling up day by day. Due to this reason, the efforts for the recovery of the loan moneys are progressing at a snail’s pace. On the other hand, the defaulters are going scot-free through the loopholes of legal obligations.
Accelerate the judicial process
The country is currently experiencing a surge in corruption. Every time you open a newspaper, there are reports of illicit wealth accumulation, falsification of asset information, bribery, embezzlement, money laundering, and corruption in government procurement, among other crimes. These allegations are being filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). Lawsuits are also being filed against the accused. However, due to infrastructural weaknesses, the case processes are not progressing. Judicial proceedings are at a standstill, resulting in a backlog of cases.
