These two smug looking gentlemen - Mr Abdus Salam Murshedy,left, and Mr S M Abu Tayyab - should be ashamed of themselves.
On the world scene, and in trade fora, they portray Bangladesh as a poverty stricken nation deserving of special kid glove treatment in order to beg for free access for their garments. At home, they take the gloves off and want to employ all the repressive machinery of the state - RAB, BDR and the armed forces - and use bullets, tear gas and what have you to quell any disquiet amongst the poverty stricken people they plead for. And when the poverty stricken die or get injured, the new tactic is to blame India for fomenting trouble.

According to them, India is doing this!
Why else would they want a 6 day week instead of an 14 hour 7 day week?
“But he declined to name the neighbouring country.”
That part is just too funny! Hmm, I really wonder whether it’s Myanmar or India… It’s so hard to decide especially when there are sooo many choices!
Yep, business tactics by big corporations like Nike aren’t good either so it’s really not surprising to hear that workers in Bangladesh are treated so horribly by their own kind. Globalization ain’t so great eh?
Deregulation and liberalizatin only favour the rich minority.
Whose to blame? World Bank and IMF (behind the masks of those lies the USA and banks)
Read “The globalization of poverty”
The garments industry riots in Bangladesh…
Whether we accept it or not, we all are chained humans, there is a master above us and we are a master of someone. And the exploitation continues. The truth is no hero or revolution is going to break the chain saving us anytime soon.
