“The murder of Major General Abul Manzur,” published on February 22, 2013

Mofi
General Manzur, a veteran sector commander of our Liberation War, has not been portrayed fairly in our history. I don't understand why BNP didn't put much effort in unearthing the truth despite the existence of all the information.

Abbasuddin
There was strong rumour that Ershad assigned Manzur to kill Zia and after Manzur completed his assignment, Ershad just killed him to remove the witness of his involvement in Zia murder. Courts could have verified the rumour to know the facts. But unfortunately, Ershad is now a special envoy of Hasina.

Dev Saha
With the new revelation, our civil society has an obligation to dig out the truth. Manzur was not the man who killed Zia and that needs to be made clear now. An innocent freedom fighter was killed. What a shame!

MH Khan
I hope Ershad will not commit suicide.

The man is in serious misery. This is the time when he should be in CMH.

“Migrants' death rises sharply” (February 20, 2014)

S.M. Iftekhar Ahmed
The same old tested method of going into denial mode when you fail miserably.

A reader
We expect responsible comments from a minister. Rather than denying the truth, he could have said what his ministry could do in this regard.

Sumon
It's because of the hard work of these migrant workers that Bangladesh is progressing. We should never ignore them and also make sure that they are not deprived of their basic rights.
