সন্ত্রাসী আক্রমন ও আমার প্রতিক্রিয়া

By -
৭/১/২০১৫ প্যারিসের চার্লি হেব্দ ব্যঙ্গ পত্রিকা অফিসে আক্রমন ও কার্টুনিস্টদের গুলিকরে হত্যা ও আক্রমনটা ছিল প্রকৃত পক্ষে বাক-স্বাধীনতায় আক্রমন।  এটি ছিল পৃথিবীর সকল কার্টুনিস্টদের বিরুদ্ধে আক্রমন।

ঠিক গতকালের (১৪/২/২০১৫) কোপেনহেগেনের সন্ত্রাসী আক্রমনটা ছিল প্যারিসের চার্লি হেব্দ ব্যঙ্গ পত্রিকা অফিসে আক্রমন-এর ধারাবাহিকতার ফল।  সন্ত্রাসীরা বোঝাতে চাচ্ছে তারা অনেক শক্তিশালী।  তাদের অনেক ক্ষমতা, ঈশ্বরের মত তারাও সর্ব ক্ষেত্রে বিদ্যমান।

আমার হাত সন্ত্রাসীদের ভয় পায়না, তাই আঁকছি নির্ভিক ভাবে। আমি আঁকতেই থাকব যতদিন বেচে থাকব।
