This is a serious crime and all involved must be tried for this. Without the ruling party's involvement it could not have been possible. Mahboob Hossain
If the allegation against the police officers is correct, they should be sacked. Naabaj
Punishment should be meted out to these culprits. Sheikh Jahangir Alam
Why were law enforcement teams silent? It is still unclear to us. Harun Rashid
It is a terrorist act supported by the local administration. The people in the administration and law enforcement agencies have been given constitutional duty to prevent any such incident. But instead of taking action they acted like wooden dolls. They totally sabotaged government's secular stand and also core Islamic value of peace. Shekhar Dev
The incident proved inefficiency and callousness of administration. They must act responsibly and neutrally when dealing with such incidents of violence. And culprits in the administration, if any, must be punished according to the law. Sengupta, Canada
An independent High Court judge may be appointed to go through the whole scam and find out the officials responsible for the violence and bring responsible officials to justice as none is above law. Suahmed
It is indeed strange how the government agencies including the ruling party high-ups remained silent. Without independent judicial investigation, we will not be able to know the fact. Nazmul
The report shows that the law enforcing agencies are not in sync. Our request to the government is to create harmony among the law enforcing agencies. Otherwise, general people will have to pay the price in the near future. The officials who were neglectful of their duties during the mayhem should be punished. Firko
People pay tax to maintain law-enforcement agencies. But they do not do their duty properly. On the contrary, we are witnessing that they are involved in various criminal activities. Translucent
Administration cannot wash its hands off about the pre-planned violence against the Buddhist community. This should be investigated by a judicial commission so that justice can be served. Md Musa
Their political backgrounds should be checked, especially what political connections they maintained during their student life. A lot of Jamaat-minded people are in the current administration. The way they have occupied all layers of Bangladesh administration, it is impossible to remove them in near future. Ajit Barua, Tokyo
It is incredible how the whole intelligence branches remained silent during the destructive incident in Ramu. These branches of law-enforcement department are enough to let down the government and it is quite clear that they had information about the incident. To prevent such mindless violence, the government should take stern action against those who failed to give security to the people.
