Tarique's lies
Recently Tarique Rahman, the senior vice president of BNP, has invented history' that is full of falsehood. Earlier, he became infamous for his alleged corruption. If we analyse BNP's history, we find that this party was created on falsehood. Propaganda is the main weapon of this party. My question is, are there no leaders in BNP who can protest these lies?

Cruelty of DU students
On 18th April at 9:00 am we, the employees of Janata Bank, were going to our office at Motijhil from Mohammadpur in our staff bus. When our bus stopped at Science Laboratory signal we saw two buses of DU namely Chaitali and Boishakhi approaching from the wrong side and students of those buses took up position on the road, ordering other buses including ours not to move because the DU buses wanted to move first breaking the traffic rule. Our driver moved the bus back and one of the DU buses passed, but he failed to see the second bus. So, the unruly students of the bus Chaitali swooped on our driver and punched him on the face indiscriminately. When we told them that we were exstudents of Dll and being DU students they should not behave like that, they attacked us too. They smashed the glasses of our bus and many of my colleagues were injured. As an ex student of DU, I could not believe my eyes that the DU students could be so cruel. I believe that majority of DU students are polite and only a handful are uncivil and devoid of decency which has stigmatized the apex educational institution of the country. Will the DU authorities take the matter into cognizance and initiate punitive action against the unruly students?

Tackling waterborne diseases
The sweltering heat wave is making our daily life a grueling battle. Acute water crisis coupled with frequent load shedding is worsening the situation further. Hospitals are facing difficulty in accommodating the daily onrush of patients as waterborne diseases including stomach ailments are on the rise. Waterborne bacteria are contaminating roadside eateries while the indifferent profit-seeking vendors are selling hazardous chemically-ripened peeled fruits, artificially-coloured icy drinks and snacks. Vigorous public awareness campaign is needed to tackle the situation.

Comments on news report, "BNP's Teesta long march starts today," published on April 22, 2014
Turja
After a long long time (in fact, I see it the first time in my life), any opposition party is holding a programme considering national interest rather than fulfilling just the party's interest. Hail BNP....

Long march for Bangladesh's national interest should be above everything and ALshould join them.
Molla A. Latif
The long march, if it supports the cause of Bangladesh, should be facilitated by the government by all means. In this scorching heat, those who will shed their sweat for the cause of the country should be helped and protected. Also BNP leaders must remember, they must refrain from gaining any party interest.

How much can the nation expect from a government which has support of 5 percent voters?

"HC orders ignored" (April 21, 2014)
Abul Kashem
Our state authority and other lawmakers shed crocodile tears for rule of law, but when HC orders are ignored, such one-eyed administration says nothing.
Hardreality
Our prime minister was quick to implement the court order when it repealed the caretaker government because it served her interest. Enough with the party interest; do something for public interest. Such negligence is outrageous. If you do not interfere directly in these matters, nothing will change as none of the public institutions is functioning properly.

Pedestrians are poor and underprivileged. Why should the ruling elite worry about them? The so-called leftist ministers in Sheikh Hasina's cabinet have assumed power after shouting about the rights of the proletarians. Now they are in power and it is time for them to oppress the proletarians even more! Most leftist leaders in Bangladesh have eventually turned out to be stooges of the capitalists.
