“PM's firm no to dialogue,” published on July 27, 2014

Deep Purple Blue
A pack of lies and half truths laced with unreasonable stubbornness.

Dr. Ahsan Habib
If BNP creates lawlessness, it is the duty of the law enforcers to face them. Why is the PM publicly giving authority to a group of people to violate the laws of the country?

Deep Purple Blue
And why would The Daily Star reporter be denied entry to her press conference? After all, The Daily Star is the leading English language newspaper in the country.

Too much false pride is the main cause of shameful fall.

Hafeejul Alam
Bangladesh is surging forward economically and socially which have been confirmed by the United Nations itself. Then what's the necessity of dialogue with BNP right now? Is it for getting the BNP high-ups to the threshold of power right away? If so, be rest assured that the people of Bangladesh are not that foolish. If BNP at all wants to get to power, it has to prove that it can deliver better than AL.

“Newspapers safe” (July 25, 2014)

Deep Purple Blue
The current information minister does not sound credible at all. Reading through the developments, it is evident that the government is trying to gag the media as was done during the Baksal days.
In situations where governments are formed following arranged elections, there is a natural propensity towards authoritarianism and that is what is happening now. The media and the civil society must be alert.

Aasfisarwar
Press freedom is synonymous with democracy, and therefore, any attempt to muzzle it under any pretext will be a violation of the clauses of the constitution that guarantee the protection of the fundamental rights of the citizens.
