Patron, outlaw held with AK-47 (November 4, 2009) Women are active in the terrorist world also. That is really something new!
Mohammad Munir Hossain Police and security services should be congratulated for arresting another terrorist. The nation must be on guard all the time.
Taslima Finally, the AL has taken a right decision.
Saif Ahmed I congratulate the law and order enforcing authorities . That's the way to handle lawlessness, no matter which party they belong to. Show zero tolerance to these anti-state elements. Do continue it, law and order will improve shortly.
Dr Islam The local AL did not spare any time suspending the membership of Akhi who was arrested while transporting arms for a terrorist group. She was involved in a murder earlier. My question is why was such a person with such criminal records made the secretary of the Mahila wing?
Akbar Hossain Outlaws have been continuing their activities under political patronage for a long time, irrespective of which party comes to power. If local politicians and police work in tandem to contain such activities, it should not be a tough job to bring peace back to the southwest region.
Jalal Excellent work by Kushtia police and a good job done by the Awami League that it suspended the alleged outlaw from the party.
Sawgat Chowdhury Thanks to the administration & the media.
Amin Bhuiyan Well done. This shows the law enforcement authorities have the freedom to discharge their responsibilities. People will love to see such efforts continuing. We trust that unlike the previous government, the present government will be neutral in curbing crime. Criminals are actually criminals and they destroy the image of a party through their association with it. The government should be commended for acting neutrally.
Anonymous Quick action at the local level; no action at the national level. General secretary of Kushtia town Mohila Awami League was suspended for her involvement in underground criminal activities as soon as the news spread. There are hundreds of criminals in major cities but nothing has so far been done about them. For good governance, quick action against criminals is necessary.
Mobaidul Huq The AL should investigate thoroughly from top to bottom whether criminals are hiding in or plotting against the party itself. A few insiders are enough to destroy the party's image.
Ajit Barua Thanks to the Awami League for suspending her promptly.
Ashraf So, the criminals have indeed settled inside the AL. Therefore, the PM must clear her own party of criminals of all sorts (tender manipulators included), then she should look outside. It won't be a credible cleansing operation if the government goes after other criminals, leaving alone AL criminals.
Slings & Arrows Very good job, but a lot more has to be done to contain such crimes.
Salim Sharif I congratulate the police for their bold action against terrorists. I also congratulate the govt for taking drastic action against the suspected outlaw.
Mostafa Kamal Like an iceberg, the major portion is hidden in the political party's nature and activities. The Honourable Prime Minister, who is running the government, must be neutral in dealing with such cases.
