“When a party loses its marbles . . .,” published on January 08, 2014

This beautiful line encapsulates the problem of our politics: "If you cannot run your rival out of town through violent agitation on the streets, paint her in the colours of treason."
The fact that there are many good, decent, pious patriots in the Awami League or that the BNP is full of decorated freedom fighters is irrelevant to these extremists who don't care a whit about freedom or democracy or anything nobler than a capricious greed for unchecked power to line their pockets, as we have seen in the most recent wealth statements that they tried so hard to suppress.

So BNP's strategy is not working, they don't know history, law, and constitution… then why are you so bothered about them, my friend?

A masterpiece op-ed! It strikes the right cord with all the prudent readership. If the author recollects, during Pakistan days, whenever the people of the then eastern wing raised their voice against exploitation and injustice, there would be a clarion call by the Pakistani leadership and their cronies in the east saying, "Islam khatre mein hain!" Meaning, Islam is in danger!

Huh? A masterpiece? The country is full of men who hark back to 1971 as if they actually took up arms. The people of Bangladesh are fed up with the AL and BNP and the two netris. Only goons, fools and narcissists want them.

A freedom fighter
Wonderful analysis.

Only in Bangladesh do freedom fighters go around with 'freedom fighter' written on their business cards...
