“Defer Jan 5 polls,” published on December 29, 2013

What's the use of deferring poll by keeping the same 'jokers' on the stage?

Abul Kalam Azad
The eminent citizens have called rightfully to defer the farcical election of Awami League. This election will not bring any peace to the country. How long will the country see the killing of its citizens by the Awami hoodlums? How long will the 160 million people suffer?

Molla A. Latif
If these gentlemen did mean that the election should be deferred to bring BNP back on track, then they should have visited its netri before sitting here. Do they even know what they are talking about? It is not that because they are prominent figures they can do and undo everything just by delivering their opinions sitting around a table without any home work.

Jafar Iqbal
Sheikh Hasina has gone mad in her greed for power. But what happened to other senior leaders of AL, many of whom are wiser than her? They should have resigned by this time.

Kish
This election can be declared unacceptable only when the voter turnout proves to be significantly lower than the minimum acceptable level, which we are yet to see.

Ash C.
Right now India is the root cause of all the evils Awami League is doing. Remove India from Bangladesh political scene and see the result. Hasina will be bound to compromise with her main backer removed from the scene.

Nasreen Chowdhury
Lack of civility and no civility in our political discourse is our trademark as Bangladeshis.

Ashraf Ahmed
Deferring the Jan 5 election without first solving the problem will just create another 'deadline', with another extended period of instability. This government and the “Prime Minister” need to step down now. She and her cronies have lost all legitimacy through their efforts to engineer the political system, deny the people their right to franchise, and cling to power by repressing all democratic expression.

Abul Hashem
Do you think they care for what you say? AL and BNP chiefs have no sense of humanity and accountability towards the nation. They will do everything to satisfy their ego at the cost of public blood and lives. So I would like to request you (civil society and other respected people) not to try to teach politics and humanity to our political leaders as all your advices will fall in deaf ears.
