Learn to live in peace
The world was shaken by the recent brutality of the ruling party's supporters in India, against those who were protesting against India's Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019. The rioters set fire to houses belonging to Muslim families. They vandalised shops and damaged property, all in the name of stopping peaceful demonstrations against the Act.
It has been alleged that law enforcers had silently watched all of this, without attempting to save those who were being attacked. BJP's rule has undoubtably affected communal harmony in India. For the sake of peace, that loss of harmony has to be regained.
What has happened in India should be a lesson for us all. We must remember to not go down the same path, and instead, learn to live peacefully with each other, despite whatever differences we may have.
Advocate Golam Azam, Natore
