She is right. But it is not possible in Bangladeshi politics. Rashna
We don't want Hillary to come here and give us suggestions. Kazi Shoaib
Thanks to Hillary for her great suggestions to our politicians. But will our politicians listen to her advice? Kazi Salim
Our prime minister and foreign minister have asked Hillary Clinton to extradite one of the killers of the Father of the Nation from USA. But Hillary Clinton did not say anything about this during the joint press conference. If the US government doesn't extradite the killer, it will prove that USA is a safe haven for killers. Md. Emdadul Islam
We welcome Hillary Clinton to our country. But our government should not let her interfere with our internal affairs. Upfront
So, the government and the opposition should sit for a meaningful dialogue to work out the framework for a free, fair and creditable election in 2014. The issues like interim government vs. caretaker government, the disappearance of Ilias Ali etc. must be resolved with practical political sense with the participation of political leaders of both the parties. True talk
The government must reduce people's sufferings by negotiating with the opposition about their demands. Sellma
Hillary Clinton is 100% right in what she says, but would our PM and the opposition leader operate under these parameters? Sheikh Monirul Islam, Opee
America wants a deep-sea port which Dr. Yunus always advocated with a sensible purpose. India is always showing its big brotherly attitude towards us and we can see how quickly Mr. Pranab made his presence here during Hillary Clinton's visit. Very interesting! Omi
We are a poor third-world country and have to do what USA tells us to do! They are worried about the violation of human rights here but look what they are doing in Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran in the name of "war against terrorism." They have the power. They will do whatever they like to do. They will come here and give us suggestions (or orders!). This is the fate of Bangladesh! Tinni
Our leaders should be honest and sincere enough to solve the crisis on their own, without any interference from outside.
