A man, while being taken to jail from the court on Tuesday, tries to pacify his daughter as she bursts into tears after seeing him, one of hundreds detained by the police in blanket arrests.

Mass arrest
The front-page photo of New Age (June 4) says it all. How things have 'improved' under the military-driven caretaker government and how 'pro-people' the non-political policymakers are!
They are as fascist and ruthless, if not worse than the politicians they claim trying to rectify. In the process only the poor and hapless are bearing the brunt.
Isn't this have been the case always?

What terrible crime did the poor man commit and what right do the so-called neutral caretaker government have to make the little girl witness her father being taken away like this?

The other day, the home affairs adviser
commented that the mass arrests are being made 'in good faith'. I dare the adviser to say it again standing in front of the wailing little girl we see on the front-page photograph of New Age.

That a picture says a thousand words is so accurate was once again proved by the photo of the man, one of the unfortunate victims of the ongoing mass arrest, and his daughter.

I felt very shocked by the newspaper reports on mass arrest by the police. We have invested little in social improvement. It is a wake-up call for all of us. It will take a lot of effort, time and energy to improve the situation. How can we solve a problem when we are not able to recognise it? The
government need to wake up and reasses the situation.
