Harijans are humans too
The news item captioned “As Harijans take meal” published on May 10 by The Daily Star caught my attention. Firstly, I would like to applaud Mr.Sajebur Rahman, UNO of Khanshama, Dinajpur to allow the Harijan people to eat at the restaurant on May 1. It is unfortunate that this act of kindness forced the eatery owners to shut down due to customers boycotting the restaurant.
Even if the society is divided by caste, creed and religion, we should above all respect humanity. One class of individuals has no right to hate another group of people, and decry them as participants of the society. Local administration, political leaders and social workers should look into this matter.
