“It's not my article,” published on June 30, 2013 Fazlul Bari If Khaleda Zia did not write the article in The Washington Times, then who wrote it? If she is honest, she should tell us who wrote it for her? Otherwise, no one will believe her. Perhaps it was Moudud Ahmed or Shamser Mobin Chowdhury, who had written the article for her. If so, one of them should come forward to save her from embarrassment. Sheikh Monirul Islam, Opee Khaleda Zia can not do this sort of negative activities in the foreign media, while we all have reason to believe that Sheikh Hasina is quite capable of doing such activities. Her interview with BBC regarding reasons for entering politics is just one example. Nds Such belated denial appears strange to me. One can recall that after publication of the article, AL supporters raised a hue and cry against the opposition leader. On the other hand, BNP leaders publicly took a strong stand in defending the article but never denied that the very article was written by their leader.   “Youths should take leadership” (June 30, 2013) Wind Nobel laureate Prof. Yunus has been continuously dishonoured by the AL. The country needs a new ruling system where all can express their opinion without any fear or threat. Mofi “Charities and benefits are important…people are in distress…get out of poverty.” Agreed wholeheartedly. I think it's the statement of the day. In Europe and USA charities and doling out payouts are usually followed by sustainable actions normally performed by their able governments.
