Stranded Pakistanis
I must strongly defer with the idea of granting citizenship to the stranded Pakistanis and making them voters. This looks like another process of adding burden to already overpopulated Bangladesh. And, if Pakistan cannot take them, why must Bangladesh on the so-called humanitarian ground? Most of the senior and young sections of these people are not loyal to Bangladesh and they actively participated with the Pakistan army in the atrocities committed against us in 1971. They never asked for any forgiveness. If they are made voters, it is not difficult to realise that this will help the anti-liberation forces and the fanatic parties. As they are Pakistani citizens, Pakistan should take them back. We were generous enough to let them live here, that's enough!
While for all the other good works, the current CTG can get applause, this move cannot be hailed at all.
