“Politically charged statements of law enforcer chiefs” (January 18, 2015)

Mohammad Auwal
This is an excellent and timely editorial. It shows your paper's commitment to democracy and patriotism.

Hafeejul Alam
The civil servants are under obligation to follow the directives of the government in power. This is even more so for the law-enforcing agencies, for they are supposed to protect the lives and property of the people. In the process, they may need to motivate people and seek cooperation from them and these should not be taken as something political. We expect a more matured editorial from The Daily Star, instead of repeating what BNP leaders say in the so-called talk-shows.

Taj Hashmi
Any sensible government would have dismissed the BGB, RAB and Police Chiefs -- who are nothing but public servants -- for their audacious behaviour. They are public servants, not politicians.
