“Confinement of Khaleda Zia,” published on January 3, 2013

Yes, this is Bangladesh. One ex-president is accepting a forced medical treatment and another ex-head of the government is under “house arrest.” One wonders what is going on in Bangladesh. Why can't Bangladesh's previous heads of state be treated like America's George Bush, UK's Tony Blair or India's very respectable ex-president Dr. Abul Kalam Azad? Why is Bangladesh different from those countries? Who are at fault? People of Bangladesh and the politicians and intellectuals must find the answer to this question.

By confining Khaleda Zia, AL is creating a dangerous precedence.

Going to a polling station to vote for a person who has no real opponent was nothing but waste of time. AL could have set a good precedence by taking right decision about yesterday's election. Now, unfortunately, the nation will count the losses, and casualties have occurred on election day. Shame on our political culture!

When a new government is formed after this farcical election, will people be bound to pay taxes to a regime whose validity will be in question?

After liberation the AL has achieved two major milestones for us (which they are always and will always be proud of):
* BAKSAL in 1975.
* Parliament election in 2014 in which majority MPs won even before the election was held, without the need for a single vote. The whole world will remember them as there is no chance for any other country to break this record.
