“Too much, too little,” published on September 24, 2013

No, it is not at all too high. It is even less than what can be termed as modest. Don't have too much fetish about arithmetic jugglery. Just be reasonable as well as sensible to the astronomical disparity that exists between the income of the owners and workers that accrues from the industry.

Would like to attract attention to CPD director's statement regarding RMG sector's minimum wage issue. This government and its politicians often justify that cost of living has gone higher, but a day labourer gets around 400/500 tk. per day which makes things comparatively affordable. RMG sector owners' proposal of tk. 3600 gives a worker tk. 120 per day. My question is: how would a worker survive with such a low pay? Under current economic reality a salary of tk. 6000 should be minimum pay.

Theories are all good. System and people need to be changed if possible. If there was a socialist approach to our politics and economy, we wouldn't have half the problems.

Yes Sir, we need a revolution. The politicians did not leave the room for maneuvering. Please join the revolution and support it actively.

The initial demand of tk. 8000 may be a bargaining strategy... the workers probably will haggle and settle at 6000...
Sheikh Monirul Islam, Opee
Tk. 6000 may be justified, but a big number of small units have to go out of business as they won't be able to pay their workers next salary.

“Indian rights group to seek compensation for Felani” (September 21, 2013)
Nasirullah Mridha, USA
What message the government wants to give its people by barring the rights activists to enter Bangladesh?
Shahin Huq
We feel indebted to them. While our government is busy ingratiating itself with the Indian establishment, these Indian rights activists have shown their concern for a human life.

Thank you, Masum, for fighting for our cause! Please name a street after Felani as we named the Indian high commission road at Gulshan in the name of Felani.
