“Boost for army,” published on February 04, 2014

Ibrahim Zaman
This is a very pragmatic decision of the government. Bangladesh needs to maintain the current standard of its army while improve the navy significantly for preparing itself to tackle any untoward situation that may arise in the near or far future.

First, the mass promotion of civil servants, now a new cantonment for army -- trying hard to make the power houses happy. This will help the government to stay in power but won't bring comprehensive development. I hope this is the end of the appeasement culture; now think about comprehensive and coherent development, please.

Nazmul Haq
Good. This might be the 26/27th cantonment for the army. How many high schools have been established by the successive governments since the Liberation of Bangladesh? Probably none.

It should be implemented on an emergency basis.

SM
Did India approve of this move?

He was certainly a powerful GM, but is he now more powerful than the then railway minister?

We live in a different world. If we beat our children or wives, it is no more our internal matter. We must prevent Taliban from coming to power and it is not considered an “internal matter” of Afganistan. If you do not follow the internationally  agreed norms there will be questions.
The other issue is secularism. You should go for a referendum to ask people which way they want to go. These issues are vital and should be solved urgently.
