Unmask those playmakers

On May 10, Ershad Shikder, a notorious killer, a felon, land grabber ,was hanged. People across the country are happy with his execution. Consequently, some questions arise : who were with him, blessed him during his dominance and helped him to be a millionaire from a poor porter? We don't know whether they are law enforcers, politicians, legislators, ministers or unseen evil spirits. As one might guess, his godfathers were quite happily placed when this man was finally executed. The law and order situation has deteriorated in the southern districts , as is evident from the recent incidents. However , it cannot improve unless the godfathers of the criminals are also brought to justice. Ershad Shikder was not the cause, but the symptom of a social malady called lawlessness.
