Open sale of porno CDs
Friday, 17 April 2009
WALKING on the footpath near Gulistan I recently saw many vendors selling pornographic CDs. They push sell the CDs to the passers-by. The aggressive vendor asks, "Lagbe, Direct Lagbe". I was ashamed and quickly left the place.
Not only at Gulistan, it is a common picture at many crowded places of the city. At Farmgate, New Market and Stadium also, porno CDs are openly sold.
Such open sale of porno is not good for us. It is particularly not good for the students. It is bound to disturb their studies.
It can motivate the youth to commit crimes.
It disturbs the footpath walkers.
So, I would request the authorities to stop this.
