Enemies of the people

One of the reporters who cover political programmes, after attending a news briefing of a major political party, filed a report that quoted the party chief calling some people 'mass enemies,' probably on the analogy of 'mass arrest.' Clear enough, he wanted to mean 'enemy of the people' for what the party chief said in Bangla. Reading literature or even knowing the titles come of help. It's Henrik Ibsen's An Enemy of the People.
