Is this panic just mine?

With my child, March 2022

"Today, the people of Bengal want freedom. The people of Bengal want to live. The people of Bengal want to have their rights," the father of our nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, said in his historic speech on March 7, 1971. Despite a half-century of liberty, farmers continue to commit suicide due to a shortage of irrigation water. Until now, the helpless father has refused to seek justice for his child's death at the hands of political thugs. So, even on our country's 51st birthday, I'm terrified. In this state, how safe would my child be?

• Another Rajshahi farmer dies after suicide bid ‘for irrigation water’
• Irrigation water: Back against wall, Santal farmer dies by suicide
• ‘There’s no justice here’ -Father of slain college girl says he won’t file case

"Hindus, Muslims, Bengalis and non-Bengalis, all those who live in this Bangla are our brothers. The responsibility of protecting them is on you. Ensure that our reputation is not smeared in any way," Bangabandhu warned.
