Sheikh Hasina is responsible for the uncertainty the country is facing. Business leaders should request Hasina to restore democratic system for free, fair and credible general election. Tirtho Mahmud
Pass a resolution in the parliament that states hartal to be unconstitutional. This subversive act goes against national security as well as economic interest of the country. Anonymous
The FBCCI president should try to understand the root causes of hartals. When there is a highly repressive government which deliberately leads the country to chaos, there are no options for the opposition but to go to the streets. It seems that the FBCCI president is interested only in business. Anonymous
It is true that businesses incur huge losses at the time of hartal. Now the businessmen have declared that they will start a campaign against hartal. The businessmen have wisely suggested that the political leaders should resolve all disputes through dialogue in the parliament. Faqrul
The picture is very scary compared to rhetoric messages by the FBCCI chief and will end in no result. The political parties are better equipped with confrontation and anarchy than dialogue and resolution in a peaceful manner. It would be difficult to stop them. Russell
The government must reject the 15th amendment. Businessmen should tell the government to do that. Abdus
We are in the 21st century; a democratic country like Bangladesh cannot afford such huge losses due to unnecessary hartals. Each hour of closure costs the country billions of taka. For the sake of the people, please find other means of demonstration.
