He refutes Adviser Alauddin's remark on his political past; govt embarrassed (May 3, 2010) We feel relieved that he has resigned. That was the only option open to him.
Raja This was highly incompetent of the government. It should have first and foremost appointed only Freedom Fighters as investigators.
Sami Even staunch Awami League activists were surprised at the appointment. Now we hear the chief investigator himself was a member of Shibir's predecessor.
MU Chowdhury As an Awami League supporter, I have to say that the Jamaat has penetrated deep into the administration, there is great worry among us of the govt and the PM getting terribly misled.
Farhan We expect the govt to appoint the best of our lawyer community as prosecutors and those who have researched war crimes for decades as investigators!
Jamal After the disclosure, the government is now wallowing in mire.
Nasirullah Mridha We all want to know the facts immediately - this is nobody's personal business.
Samir Please take action against the persons those who recommended his appointment as chief investigator.
Mohammad Sorforaj Meah If Mr Matin is competent and he has a good track record, and integrity, then what was the problem in appointing him as chief investigator?
Nilufar Yesmin Biswas 'He was neither a collaborator nor a freedom fighter during the liberation war'. What was he then? As we know, people didn't have multiple choices in those crucial days of 1971. There was a fine line instead. Either you support the freedom fighters or you get affiliated with the collaborators. Mr. Matin should have been perfectly vetted before being appointed as Chief Investigator.
Shah Mostain Billah Don't we have any more veteran person among us?
Rubel It shows incompetence on the part of the ministry responsible.
Nazmul Hossain We definitely have many people in the country without a dubious background.
Dr Islam The government is repeatedly being found lacking in homework.
Reaz Hassan It is not a good suggestion to appoint someone on the grounds of being a freedom fighter or an AL supporter. It is a question of CONSCIENCE that all govt. officers must perform their duties entrusted upon them properly. Stigmatising people on political past alone is wrong.
