Playing T20 series
Playing just one or two T20 international matches does not bring out the best in any team. Since T20 cricket is highly popular, I believe at least 3-5 matches should be played. This would also increase the importance ofT20 cricket.
Net practice does not enable a batsman to see where he has hit the ball. There is also no fear of getting out. In order to improve one's batting ability a batsman must bat in a field with proper field settings so that he can actually practice hitting the ball in the gaps. He must also learn how to run fast between wickets instead of relying just on boundaries.

Tools of violence in
governance
Peaceful hartal is a democratic right, especially in developing or flawed democracies as in the case of Bangladesh, but no one in good conscience can agree that enforcing hartals through violence is a democratic right. The pre-hartal violence that has been inflicted on the country recently can definitely be considered criminal offence and need to be dealt with accordingly. What is more frightening is the widespread use of bombs in the arsenal of picketers
in enforcing hartals. Pictures of those hurling bombs at buses and other vehicles suggest that they are enjoying their work.
In the fifties, we participated in political processions with hand bands and leaflets. Police killing of four students led to the fall of the then East Pakistan government and subsequent routing of Muslim League in 1954 election. Almost 60 years later, the same political processions have become so violent, so destructive. Many of our generations have already left this world and those of us remaining will leave soon. We appeal to our younger compatriots to beware of violence and especially tools of violence in political governance.

Break the vicious circle
in politics
Political parties are supposed to serve the people and the country. Ever since democracy got restored in 1991, the political parties have been hatching different kinds of conspiracies against each other, making the general people suffer and ruining the economy in the end. They have always competed for securing their own stranglehold on the country. But it is high time that political parties worked together to help the nation move forward. Both the ruling party and the opposition should come forward to break the present stalemate and reach a consensus as soon as possible for the country's sake.

Comments on news report, "PM invites new controversy," published on November 12, 2013

It seems that Sheikh Hasina is the owner of Bangladesh and she can make and unmake ministers.
Abul Kashem
Amidst such widespread repercussions and criticism, AL leaders, with undated resignation letters, are in their habitual disguise to contemplate explaining constitutional obligations in their 'own way' in a futile effort to befool the public once again.
S. M. Iftekhar Ahmed
Another example of double standard by politicians in Bangladesh.
Mohammed Ismail
This is a new drama by the government. Everybody should reject these politicians.
Ash C.
The whole county appears to have turned into a factory of uninterrupted production of controversies!

Why bother? Constitution is one thing, the provision is another and most importantly the power of interpretation is totally different. Who knows the constitution better than our PM? No one!! So forget about it.

A resignation letter or any official letter needs a date and signature of the person writing it for its validation. A resignation does not come into effect until it is accepted by the competent authority and till then the person is in the job.
Spiderman
Resignation letter without date and signature? Was it a handwriting competition? Why are these so important post holders sending letters without date and signature? What is the value of these letters?

Well done, Sadat!
