The reason of big defence budget is, I assume, big commission for the decision makers and the military leaders. Is there anybody to ask explanation for this madness?

I think the reason for the big purchase is to keep army on their side.

It is all about corruption. In normal business, it hangs around 10 to 16 %; but in these purchase it can go as high as 50% as the deals are kept secret and what is negotiated with the other side is often manipulated and twisted.

While the country is suffering from so many problems, what is the use of these weapons? Isn't it squandering public money to please foreign masters? Or, are these weapons to kill the people? Then these are not needed.

It pains me when I see the hard earned money of the poor farmers, workers in the Middle East and garment workers is being wasted in such a way.

War criminals in Bangladesh put on Islamic dresses to camouflage themselves to bluff the illiterate citizens of the country. Similarly, Adilur being a BNP activist camouflaged himself as human rights worker and fooled the US government, UN, etc.

Congratulations to The Daily Star for bringing out some facts. It is unfortunate that organisations like Odhikar are being used for political purposes.

Adilur should be thoroughly questioned and we need to know who has been financing or influencing him to come up with deaths that never occurred.
