Stranded Pakistanis
Sir, Now-a-days, perhaps like many others, I do not relish my breakfast if it’s not preceded by watching and listening to the BBC World News. On Apr. 29 morning I happened to see a very interesting pictorial report prior to the main news, broadcast from the port city Karachi of Pakistan, depicting the life style of the Biharis (or Mohajirs). You like if or not they their own way of life. They have since long agitating for their political rights. However, they are blamed for the riots and to have created an acute law and order situation.
These Biharis ’(now their number swelling to more than two lakhs) did express their allegiance towards Pakistan and claimed themselves as Pakistanis, when Bangladesh became independent in 1971. A la^ge number of them then were taken by Pakistan and rehabilitated in the province of . Sindh. But very soon Pakis-
tan govt, stopped their repatriation from Bangladesh. Since then, a large number of these stranded Pakistanis are passing their miserable days at various cpmps in Bangladesh. Bangladesh govt, also naturally must be tried to house and feed then for an indefinite period. Now their population also must be increasing and their already unhygienic camps are becoming overcrowded and turning into environmental threat as well.
We, therefore, urge upon our Prime Minister and the Chairperson of the SAARC to take up this long hanging issue with Pakistan at the summit meeting in Delhi to bring about a permanent solution to this menacing problem.

False cases to harass
Sir. One of the easiest tasks in our country is io vex and harass others. Practically, the law and order has gone down to
such .i low that, most of the guardians advise their wards particularly daughters io ignore any unprovoked taunts/teases for the sake of peace and safety. Experiences suggest, referring the cases of. harassment to the law enforcing agencies or the court of law may simply aggravate the condition furl her.
We face another common problem in our society. There are some people who find sardonic pleasure in filing suits against others to make their lives simply miserable. This happens many" a time out of jealousy or bad intentions without any valid ground. The prime Incentive for playing foul iinHeshanlJy is that after losing the motivated false cases, the manipulative persons go unpunished. On the other hand, the Innocent and good people usually prefer to avoid filing compensatory cases against those criminals due to uncertainty. Inordinale delay and high cost Involvement In seeking Justice at the court of law
Due l > Dils uuclrh i o <1 criminal activities, fhe community has Io pay a very high cost by way ol wastage of en-
iigy. money- disturbance of mental peace, hindrance to developrrient and stinted growth. Wlille the social work-ers/reformists are trying to change the people, some strict qualitative deterrent measures are required to combat filing false cases and ’ helping the community march ahead smoothly
The appropriate authority (maybe the Judges and the Lawyers) may take inllia tive/make provisions to award punishments if a case is proven unnecessarily purported to harass somebody, saving the sufferer (s) from Insurmountable pains to file another case to get compensation for the harassment committed against him/her. This will motivate many to refrain from Tiling false cases too.
The false cases to harass must go.
John Arun Sarkar SuujhiMa. Dhaka Down the memory lane
Sir, A few days back a very old friend of mine, took me for a drive to Azimpur new colony to recall the good old childhood memories of the
60s. On reaching the new blocks of the Azimpur colony, we noticed a rather gloomy and precautions look all over, as if every one was alarmed of a disaster The good old green fields where we once joyfully played around now looks lifeless with uncared growth of bushes here and there. We came across some youngsters of the colony, who in their behaviour appeared overgrown and serious. Others were seen sitting in circles, as if in political meetings. The other changes we noticed were erection of collapsible gates at the entrance' of most buildings and the one time open veranda of the ground floor now fully converted into suffocating enclosed structure.
There came a touch of emotion while staring up the flats where we once so happily lived for so) long We could not help but recall the days with our beloved par ents, neighbours, friends,' those school years and the innocent times when a mere radio and the black & white
television were all that fun and excitement I once thought of climbing up the 3rd floor along with my four-and-half-year old daughter, but then had to change my mind, realising the prevailing uneasy atmosphere. "These days no body trusts anybody". You might as well be seriously misunderstood and humiliated. Whereas, even an unknown visitor was greeted and asked to cpme in for a cup of tea. so was the common feeling of the bygone years.
Suddenly certain questions crept up in my mind, inspite of all that enormous privileges, increased rate of literacy, technological developments and with so many other facilities being provided why are we not cruising ahead in thoughts and behaviour? Are all that privileges and advantages costing our peace and security’ Are all these !>en< fits a hi' hard t ' digest?
