How can AL government spend this huge amount of taxpayers' money just to attend the UN's General Assembly? Is the premier throwing a lavish party for her party members and others before the election, so that they work hard for her election campaign? Please don't waste our hard-earned money like this.

The entire cabinet could have been taken along for the 'last ride'!

Does it need any analysis of such length about the delegation in question? Who in this country does not know or believe that almost all foreign visits of this nature particularly for attending the events sponsored by Internationale or multinational bodies are nothing but a sort of picnic or pleasure trip. The governments of poor countries are traditionally pleasure-loving at the cost of people, and Bangladesh is ranked number one in this category of nations.

134 members? We are curious to know the sizes of other countries' entourages.

Our PM has always compared our election system with other democracies like UK. It would be nice to know how many delegates the British PM is taking?

Shopping spree and excursion will be the core agenda of this tour.

Only an unpatriotic leader can do such thing. Shame on all these worthless delegation members.

Wonder if all will return home…

With the PM and company thinking of taxpayers' money as their personal piggy bank, they see no harm in spending it freely. It looks also like a calculated move to endear prominent media personality on their side before election time.

Hope and pray that the eminent personalities -- leaders of various leagues -- will behave and not try to bully the UN secretary general. What will the upazila and pourashava chairmen do there? We hear that only 10 people will be allowed into the general assembly out of these 140!

Feel good jolly for the boys and girls to remember and work hard at the National Polls. Come on be fair, the country owes this to the ruling party. It's always a pleasure to be generous with other people's money.
