Environment refers to the natural world around us including the non-living and living organisms which constantly interact with each other and adapt themselves to conditions in their environment which must be enabling and supportive where risks are minimised and people are kept secured from danger. Environment where everybody equally feels safe to talk, walk and are protected from harm and abuse and there is no discrimination and social ills. 

We don't have to see all the crimes around us which compels us to learn all these negative behaviours. The respective government is responsible to ensure the enabling and supportive environment for the citizen and mitigating consequences that would otherwise be a result of negative choices. It is not only the right of the citizen to avail thissupport and enabling environment but at the same time duty and responsibility of the state to ensure that the citizen feel at ease to stayin this environment.

The recent anti -discrimination movement leading to dramatic downfall of Hasina government, is the clear picture of negative choice of the people as the state itself failed to ensure any enabling and supportive environment. They always considered the citizen as slaves and imposed all unlawful decisions on them. They were the Role Model of Corruption which encouraged the whole system to be corrupted. As a result of open corruption and crimes there was discrimination all over. 

The discrimination was so visual, that some enjoyed all the privileges with state money through money laundering, grabbing state property, extortionetc., whereas, some even didn't have shelter to stay and buy food for their family creating large class differentiation.


Some opted for corruption to make quick money and lead a lavish life, some were compelled to do as they were threatened to lose their job, or tortured and enforce to disappearance as a result   of protesting. The crimes were not confined within these torture cells,it went to kill all the57 brilliant officers through BDR massacre. It marked the erosion of democratic institution as they used state apparatus to destroy any body opposing, silenced the media, abused the human rights, perpetuated power for long 15 years through fraudulence.

The autocratic regime never followed the beautiful but easy guidance to be a good human being, specified inthe Holy Quran.  They didn't believe that onlyAllah has all the power and Allah does not like transgressors as mentioned in Surah Al-Ma'idah (87) "O believers! Do not forbid the good things which Allah has made lawful for you, and do not transgress." Indeed, He has given dominion to Dr Muhammad Yunus and took away dominion from Fascist government within a second as they all were transgressors and they were allpushed to the wall. Did all the corrupted ministers ever thought that they will be hand cuffed and humiliated?

Allah seized the 15years power within 15 days. I hope people and all the political parties should learn from these and should not repeat the same crimes andtransgress. The authoritarian regime fell at the cost of huge bloodshed and sacrifice of many people sorepetitions of same kind of activities by any political party or people will not be tolerated by the mass people or of course Almighty!

The Interim Government has taken the responsibility to reform the economy and the 15 years rusted institutions and will try to ensure there is Justice& equality, irrespective of any marker of identity. As a citizen we also have to contribute in the reformation and support continuously and protest unitedly against any injustice and problem created to ousted the interim government, change our negative behavioral pattern and create an enabling and supportive environment to achieve onlyone goal that is to make a discrimination and corruption free new Bangladesh. Most importantly, we all have to fear Allah as we have learnt that Wrong Doers and Transgressors never get through!
