“The propaganda and the mindset,” published on August 8, 2013
Khan from Ottawa, Canada
I am with your comments. I would like to request Mahfuz Anam to write on land grabbing by the so-called developers. Some newsmen will not go against the land grabbers or developers who are destroying the environment by building worst types of building.

One of the finest pieces by the editor of TDS. Our PM is simply destroying AL. AL party men are silent. All intellectuals are silent. It gives me pain.

The government has gone completely bankrupt mentally or otherwise! Moreover, the minister of 'Black Cat' fame has proudly proclaimed to the media that what has been done so far regarding 'billboard hijacking' in Dhaka city alone is nothing compared to when even every upazilas and thanas will be covered with billboards praising AL 'achievements' soon!

I hope and expect that the PM would read this and respond by taking appropriate action.

That would be the day when the sun will rise from the West!

Mr Mahmudur Rahman did spread bad propaganda but he used his licensed media. On the other hand, AL is spreading its good propaganda by totally illegal means. Both are illegal. The main problem in our country is that law is only applicable to opposition, not everyone is equal under law.

After experiencing the nightmarish AL rule for the last 5 years, how worse can it be next?

Congratulation is due to Mr. Anam for writing this piece. It gives an accurate picture of the nature of the ruling party. Let us recall the recent threat by the PM when the AL backed candidate lost in Gazipur: 'I will see how you feel when I shut down electricity after Eid'. She spoke as if she was the owner of all electricity produced in BD, and likewise she has decided to takeover the billboards.

So the question is what sort of “mindset” prompted AL to indulge in a criminal act of 'hijacking' city billboards, which are private property? The same mindset that tells them that they and their progeny are the rightful owners of this country and everybody else's rights have to be subservient to theirs?

After reading this wonderful piece from none but Mr. Anam, the Editor of TDS, I really feel comfortable that there are still voices in Bangladesh to speak against the wrong.
