What do you mean by we? some self claimed intellectuals do not form We. THis is the problem with you people. you think Anandabazar coverage is West bengal. Every parents do deserve the right to explain to their own kids what they are doing wrong and parents need to handle infatuation. offcourse it would have been wrong if Rizwanur was murdered or physically abused etc. But we all along knew nothing like that happened. All that happened is a father's effort to see her daugher happy.
God forbids, if you have a daughter or sister and she elopes with a rickshaw puller and that too from a differenr religion, you will understand the pain of Todi.
And I pray to God, these intellectuals (who do nothing but protest and for whom bengal is suffering) are shown the day and their hypocracy comes to light.
