“JS to exist, but not in session,” published on September 3, 2013
MH Khan
This is a good idea. There must not be a vacuum. The elected body should stay effective till the newly elected parliament is formed. The presence of the JS will deter unconstitutional forces from making undemocratic moves. This will go a long way in ensuring smooth transition of power democratically. What the nation needs is uninterrupted democracy.

In any case, AL is not interested to take risk to lose power.

We are waiting with our fingers crossed to see how smooth the transfer of power will be.

“If voted to power again, my government will ensure decentralisation of power by further strengthening the local government system.” If this is true, then why are the local bodies complaining?
Sheikh Monirul Islam, Opee
How on earth an existing cabinet stays on and continue right through the poll time? How does a democratic process develop when existing MPs and cabinet members are authorised to exercise their full authority?

“Hurt deep down Buddhist heart” (September 3, 2013)
S. M. Iftekhar Ahmed
Hypocrisy prevails in Bangladesh, thanks to the corrupt and amoral politicians. Otherwise, how can it be possible for villains to be portrayed as great heroes?
Vikram Khan
It's true that the culprits are protected by the politicians, the police force and the local administration. Does the government really think that they can bring justice by rebuilding a temple?
Shahin Huq
It is now clear that local AL leaders were the masterminds of the Ramu temple attack. Ironically, Awami intellectuals always try to make BNP-Jamaat-Hefazat scapegoats for such crimes. Any independent inquiry will suggest that AL people have been behind most minority oppression in Bangladesh.
