“Jamaat hails Modi's visit” (June 2, 2015)

Politicians can say and do everything. This is just another example.

Are they expecting any gains from Indian PM's visit? I think they will be disappointed if they do so.

Jamaat shows us yet again that they'll do anything for their own benefit. Maybe one day, we will see them in an alliance with Awami League! Everything is possible in Bangladesh's politics.

“The 'Idiot' and an MP” (May 25, 2015)

Hafeejul Alam
Who is an 'idiot?' I am at a loss to understand as to how any sane person terms a renowned professor 'an idiot' who once taught American students at a prestigious university and decided to return to Bangladesh to teach Bangladeshi students and share his profound knowledge with the younger generations through his writings.

I would urge the honourable prime minister to look into the matter, for I believe she is the leader of Bangladesh, not just of Awami League. The ruling party must learn to respect intellectuals with different political and social views.

Dr. Yunus faced a treatment very similar to this.

Our politics is governed by such elements that have lost their sense of dignity, integrity and professionalism. How can we expect good governance and national development from them?

Not only the politicians but also the ordinary people are responsible for this shocking incident. Because they have forgotten how to raise their voice against such an arrogant MP. Prof. Zafar Iqbal is a person who dedicated his life to enlighten our young generation. He is someone who is still speaking about our glorious history and letting our generation know the truth. I thank the editor of The Daily Star for raising his voice on this issue.
