“Booming freelancing industry” (Jan. 4, 2015)

The Outsider
Whether or not the industry booms, does it make any difference to the government in Bangladesh in terms of taking any positive step to help this industry? It is a fact that whatever the people of Bangladesh achieve is solely to their own credit. There are many issues such as internet speed and cost, payment etc. where government should help. However, the government is little interested in these issues. So, we do not expect anything from it and we believe the freelancers are able to do better with their own effort and dedication. Wish them all the best!

You wrote: “The government formed by the Awami League (AL) under the leadership of Sheikh Hasina following the largely boycotted and violence marred parliamentary elections on January 5 was immediately recognised by India”.
How on earth could an honest friend of Bangladesh immediately recognise a government formed by a farcical election that was “largely boycotted” by the people of Bangladesh and was “violence marred”?

SM
Exactly!
