Strikes: Vandalization of Nature. |
|---|
|
Hartal* (Strike) is now one of the ways of ?protesting? in Bangladesh. Although, it looks like a way to harm the nature and the Human beings at the same time. Most of the political parties of Bangladesh have used this as their way of ?protesting?. Well, I just want to know: What will burning cars Cutting Trees and bombing bring on the society? I don't think any good.
In Every Hartal, a lot of cars are burnt without any specific reason. Many trees are cut down and many tires are burnt to make a road-block. This is a serious harm to the environment and Human Life. I urge upon every Bengali's and others to stop this nonsense. Many people become injured even faces death during this so-called "strikes". Pictures: # A banner saying HARTAL. # A bus torched by the protesters. # A car torched by the protesters. # A road-block created by cutting trees. # No. of vehicles vandalized by the protesters. (Except the first one, all of the pictures were collected from various sources including post from newspapers)(The first one was shot by me) *Hartal: is a term in many South Asian language for strike/action, |

Hartals or strikes should be avoided as much as possible. If not avoidable , it should be non violent by proposals and suggestions to management or govt. Nobody gains anything from violent strikes. Time to follow Great Mahatma Gandhi's footsteps of non voilence.

Thanks Dhiroj&Pratap for more input. I've heard of the tragedy occurred yesterday in Dhaka.
I wish the victims can recover from the demolition of the building soon and get proper compensation...

The political situation is almost same in Nepal. Strike is not a new thing here. But after the step toward peace process, it is slightly reduced.

I imagined my car burning by protesters without any proper reason or compensation.
It's horrible!

@Geetica: Yes...I agree with you..........But, the scenario here in Bangladesh is totally Different....................

oh well! You should think about laws such as "Right to protest" where peaceful strikes are organised with guidance of the govt., even if it's against the govt. This is a law in india. Helps escaping such fierce situations .
Hartals are necessary for democracies! and should be made peaceful!
Thanks for the report :)

My freinds comment about Hartal: "It's more like a Amon Amarth concert."..........\m/
Posted 24-04-2013 12:42
Yes.....I agree with you too...........Mahathma Gandhi started "Hartal" as a peaceful way of protesting. Now it is a plain terorism............ :/

There's a saying like this : "Terror is the last resort for unheard voices"
But I don't agree with that sentence at all.
Throughout the history, nothing had been earned through these kind of destructive actions.
Thank you for sharing, Mahsinur :)
