“Kit itself unfit,” published on June 17, 2014

I don't think this kit can't measure formalin. Rather it may be a ploy plotted by these fruit traders. They are trying to prove that there is no formalin in fruits and it's just the fault of the machine. If there is no formalin in the foods, then why they run away whenever the drive starts? They are trying to prove themselves innocent. But this won't work, I guess. The customers are more cautious now!

This is what happens when standards get lowered, since entry into the establishment (civil service) does not take place on the basis of merit but through fake exams/tests and party affiliation. Over time, such people have now become a majority. Don't be surprised, this will unfortunately continue! The nation has been infested with “yes men”, who even render decent and competent people (civil servants) ineffective.

“Biharis point fingers at Elias” (June 16, 2014)

It is clear to people that the sinister Mollah gang want to grab the lands of these poor people. It is an example of Awami hooliganism.

Mr. Mollah has to “look after” his voters for any future election. Therefore he sees no harm in offering “free” illegal electricity to them, temporary or otherwise! Do remember readers Mr Mollah is a ruling party lawmaker and therefore he's perfectly entitled to make his own laws vis-à-vis supply of power to any one he chooses! I doubt if he knows the extent of the subsidy the public purse has to cough up to import fuel for power generation!

There are several videos on the internet where the arsonists have been filmed. Why do not the police arrest those whose faces are clearly identifiable? Nine people in Mirpur were burned alive and one was killed by the police fire when the Biharis were defending their properties and lives. I am assuming our illegal MPs and partisan police are not realising how a spark can quickly engulf the whole country including their empires.
