| Graffiti on woman??? It's After The Daily Star ran a report yesterday on a self-proclaimed Pir who put graffiti on a wall by a Pirojpur road, prohibiting movement of women on that road, Mathbaria police removed the writings and are hunting for the Pir. Officer-in-charge of the Mathbaria Police Station Matiur Rahman erased the graffiti that read "Women are absolutely forbidden on this road" from Mathbaria Bara Masjid Road. They were also trying to arrest the so-called pir and former soldier Maulana Md Abdus Sattar, our Barisal correspondent reports. Matiur Rahman told The Daily Star, "Following the report of The Daily Star we removed the sign and we will take legal actions against the self-declared pir who obstructed women's movement on that road." He also said two policemen will be deployed on the road to help schoolgirls use the road. He said they will continue their search for Abdus Sattar. |

| #1 Maulana Md Abdus Sattar and Abdus Sattar are a couple of nasties. When they were boys they would sneak into people's houses at night and straighten out their curly-toed shoes. |
