“Shakib banned for six months,” published on July 8, 2014

I believe the BCB has shown more arrogance than Shakib himself. No one should be so harsh on Shakib, the 6th best player of IPL and of course, the only player of Kolkata Knight Riders who speak Bangla. Bangladesh is definitely proud of Shakib. I would request the prime minister to intervene in the matter and allow him to play both national and international cricket.

The punishment has been very harsh. This time it could come with a last warning tag plus a fine and 3-month ban. Now only the PM can warn him and pardon him. Or else the cricket in him will die!

It is unfortunate that Papon and his functionaries failed to handle Shakib.

It is hard to believe how Shakib could threaten to quit ODI and test cricket for playing county cricket. How could I ever respect him the way I did?

“Ministry, UGC reject TIB report” (July 7, 2014)

That's right Mr. minister. There is no corruption in the education sector. Questions have never been leaked. No government educational institution has ever sold seats. All private universities are complying with the rules due to the tireless efforts of the UGC. It's all a conspiracy by TIB. Does Mr. Nahid think all Bangladeshis are that naive? Guess who we'll side with in a tussle between TIB and this government?

We would like TIB to investigate and publish a report about the sources of huge money being spent by Tarique Zia and Koko, living abroad for the last 5-6 years. It is strange that TIB has been silent over this matter! Is TIB scared to do so or is there any sort of unholy alliance?

“A section of officials of the education ministry, UGC, and private universities are involved in illegal money transactions at different stages -- from getting approval to set up the universities and appoint vice chancellors, pro-vice chancellors and treasurers to awarding certificates to students.”
The above report of TIB is a flat one for all. One can make this type of report sitting in their offices or homes.

What else the ministry and UGC can do other than denying? Did not the Uruguayan football star Luis Suarez also deny biting an Italian footballer? But unlike in our case, he was caught and punished.
