Hartal-enforcers must pay damages
If it is true that political parties pay thugs and goons to destroy vehicles, torch public buses, derail trains and injure people during hartals, then they should also pay the owners of the destroyed vehicles, ensure medicare for the injured people and compensate all those affected by hartals.

Issues making AL unpopular
The PM arranged meetings in different districts and asked people to vote her party into power again. Did they ever do a simple math of finding the answers to the following questions?
(i)How many votes are they going to lose due to share market and Hall-Mark scam? (ii) How many votes are they going to lose due to failures in regard of Padma bridge? (iii) How many votes will they lose because of installing Rampal power plant? (iv) How many votes will they lose because of abolishing the caretaker government system? Lots of swing voters might be annoyed with this decision, (v) How many votes will they lose because of their attitude towards Professor Yunus and Grameen Bank? 1 still believe failure to understand the gravity of these factors is making a huge dent in their popularity base.

Include hermaphrodites in mainstream
We often see hermaphrodites collecting money from different shops beside the road. Though hermaphrodites have no physical or mental disability, our society does not accept them as normal human beings. In Western culture, hermaphrodites get the same facilities as normal human beings get and so they become self-dependent and contribute to their national economy.
However, in our country the way of their income is not fair, but it isn't their fault. If our government establishes a special educational institution for the hermaphrodite population, they would become self-dependant and could contribute to society. We have to change our mindset and attitude towards them.

Relocating BGMEA building Every time I pass by this building, I fail to understand how on earth anybody could construct such a structure right in the middle of a water body! This is simply weird. It is interesting to note that many such constructions have been demolished but BGMEA building still exists. The building is going to impede the natural water flow through the city and the whole purpose of the ambitious Hatirjheel-Begunbari project would be jeopardised. The construction of BGMEA building is a clear violation of law. The High Court has already given verdict in favour of demolishing the building. The general mass has also voiced their indignation and expects that the building be demolished. If Rangs building could be knocked down on grounds of irregularities, why not BGMEA building? Hope good sense will prevail and without further dillydallying, the policy makers in the garment sector should, on their own initiative, relocate their building.
