LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A mockery indeed!
Keeping anti-liberation elements at her side, Khaleda Zia is now saying that the mayhem, atrocities and arson attacks all over the county have been done by ruling party criminals! What a blatant lie and mockery to the victims of the deadly attacks!
So finally that's what we can expect from our politicians! Creating anarchy and killing people, and then happily passing the responsibility on the other side. And it is same for both the parties.

Mindset about women needs change
Any woman above thirty years, who applies for a job, knows how eyebrows are raised and questions are hurled about her marital status. Why, despite our education, is it that we still consider marriage as the ultimate yardstick of a woman's identity and achievement in life? Are we really changing our mentality as a nation or are we still as deeply rooted as before in our traditional ways of finding a man for a girl as soon as they come of age?

Who cares about children's education?
My two sons were supposed to take their annual examinations from 1st December. The schedule was finalised - one subject every day. But due to the countrywide blockade, the routine has been changed and now they have to sit for two exams a day. They go to the examination centre in the morning and come back in the evening, getting totally exhausted by the pressure. My kids do not do politics but they are bearing the brunt of it.

Hope all conflicts end in this glorious month
The situation in the country is deteriorating fast. People are living in great fear and anxiety. It seems that an evil force is at work, leaving its mark everywhere. Political unrest is the root cause of this because vested quarters are taking advantage of the current situation.
December, the month of victory, has started. Forty-two years have passed since the Liberation War but what a mess we have made.
PM is a mother, so she must be able to feel the pain of those who are losing their children in the mayhem and she can stop all the violence in a minute by agreeing to the demand of the people -demand fora non-partisan poll-time government. She declared that she does not want to remain the PM; she only wants the welfare of the people. So, why is she not stepping down and setting an example to be remembered by the people?

Comments on news report, "Defiant Ershad in a sticky stew," published on December 5, 2013
Nds
It matters little whether this gentleman is in sticky stew or in hot soup. If the statement of the Indian foreign secretary as quoted by Ershad is true, then it leads one to assume that she has come here to wage an election campaign in favour of a particularpolitical party.
Aasfisarwar
What happened suddenly that that Ershad needed such a large contingent of Rab and police for his protection? And from will the attack on Ershad come?
Iftekhar Hassan
I was wondering if there was any pressure from the Indian envoy as naked interference in Bangladeshi internal affairs on behalf ofAwami League.
Mortuza Huq
I feel sorry for Ershad and pray to Allah that he rectifies himself so that people of Bangladesh can forgive him for a timely sacrifice at the end of his life.
Dying regime
Awami League needs to remember that no regime remains in power forever. Now there are two options left to them: either they quit or they are removed by the people of Bangladesh.
Shahin Huq
He has taken the right decision and we hope he will stick to it.

Perhaps you know your money and conspiracy would not help your client this time if caretaker government is revoked and a free and fair election is held.

Maxi-party election! That will be nice.That will be better than all-party election.
