Comments on commentary

“Save us from hartal, pre-hartal violence,” published on November 5, 2013 Nds Thanks, Mr.Anam, for a very timely and much needed appeal to the judiciary for positive intervention to stop the free play of this beastly brutality being patronised by whoever it might be. S.M. Iftekhar Ahmed Wonderful article! While lax laws are everywhere, this ridiculous culture will continue. It is now up to the judiciary and the people to resist and stop this nonsense. Hafeejul Alam An excellent and timely write-up. Along with editor Mahfuz Anam, I appeal to the judiciary to take into cognizance the points raised in this commentary and save us from hartal and pre-hartal violence. It is indeed a shame that Jamaat easily apologise to the US embassy for attacking their car but never bothers to do the same to our own citizens for burning and vandalising their cars and for the killings. Zaman Asif Ahmad Does our judiciary have the strength to take such step? Alekanda Hope our judiciary will come forward to pass a new bill about hartal, so we common people will be free from our politicians' vicious and inhumane games. **** “Hindus attacked in Pabna” (November 3, 2013) Shafu I hold the good and proper Muslims surrounding the area responsible for allowing this unjustified, primitive and brutal act to take place. The lady in the picture reminded me of my late beloved grandmother. I am a Muslim; incidents like this makes me ashamed and heartbroken. Dev Saha Going after innocent minorities would not solve Bangladeshi political problems. It just saddens me to see how low these party thugs can be. MistiKotha I hope the police will catch those who did these evil deeds. In addition, the government ought to force these culprits to repair all the damages caused by them and hand out heavy sentence as a warning to future misbehaviour against any citizen.
