Cab services by army
We highly appreciate the government's decision to involve our army in running the proposed cab service. It would be very pragmatic. Our defense forces have done many development works successfully. They deserve credit for the preparation and distribution of national ID cards in the recent past. Issuing of MRPs (machine readable passport) is being conducted by the army, and people are getting smooth service without any hassle or seeking the help of middlemen.
We, the common people, want to travel anytime, anywhere in this mega city enjoying a safe cab service. Md. Refatul Hossain

Adilur Rahman's arrest
Adilur Rahman has been arrested by the government on charge of publishing a false report on the crackdown on Hefazat at Motijheel on May 5. The report does not at all go with the government version of the incident. We are inclined to believe the government version, as it is an elected government.
If it is proved beyond doubt that Adilur Rahman's report is motivated, then he should be punished according to the law of the land. But being a highly educated person - a lawyer and human rights activist - he should be treated with dignity and respect while in custody, without being robbed off any of his rights as a citizen of an independent county.
Let us build a society where mutual respect is the norm.

Muhith's hostile
comment
What has made me react seriously is Mr. Muhith’s aggressive comment: “Prof Muhammad Yunus would not be able to grab GB no matter how loud he shouts."
I don't find any justification why our finance minister reacts so vehemently against the Nobel Laureate on the issue of GB. As we know from the contemporary world reports in the media, Yunus is one of the most influential figures in the world, and given the degree of his international influence all others in Bangladesh pale into insignificance. So the ultimate result of this hostility will be zero. Dewan A. Rashid Uttara, Dhaka
Session jam in national university
It has been a great pain for the students of National University to spend years for higher education due to session jam. National university was established in a bid to create opportunity of higher education for the students all over the country. Unfortunately, because of session jam the goal has not been achieved. There are also some other problems.
All the governments mostly recruited partisan people as teachers and employees of the university colleges who lack skills. Therefore, they are always in conflict with each other for personal or partisan gains. The government should monitor the activities of the national university with extreme care so that people do not lose their faith in these institutions of higher education.
