Is it possible for her to materialise the promises living under the veil of Jamaat and Hefazat? The first word should have been severance of nexus with Jamaat.

The formula to gain public support is a very simple one: sever ties with Jamaat; surely, they are not worth more than losing support of the people and friends from the international community.

“Bow to internal reality not to foreign pressure” (January 16, 2014)

This Flawed election is Khladea's gift to Bangladesh. Talk about EU and US? A right kind of diplomacy will right the wrongs of this flawed election. Hasina needs support from the Bangladeshi people to win over the world because a back-to-back election is not on the plate soon enough.

A very well written and true to the point article. But don't we all know what works behind the mind of this despotic lady and who controls her? Do you honestly believe that such a fine write-up of yours will have any effect on her? Rather, a congratulatory note to her like some other so called 'intellectuals' could raise the possibility of her press secretary ringing you up for a cup of tea; and, perhaps your landing up with a post like the ex Bangladesh Observer editor! Thank you for sticking to your guns!
