“Girls under 20 most vulnerable to rape” (June 16, 2015)

Zaman Khan
Young girls are more vulnerable to rape attempts than adults, because they get scared and easily give away to threats.

Abdul Hafiz Dewan
Until harsher punishment is imposed on the predators, this barbarism will not stop. 

Sharif Chowdhury
That figure disturbingly shows how vulnerable women and girls have become in our society, even within the close, trusted social circles! So at the root level, the problem is women don't have equal rights in our society.

“Predictable yet unachievable”(June 15, 2015)

Sadman Bin Ornab
Budget FY 2015-16 seems like an opportunity to the bourgeoisie class, a gruesome burden to the middle class and a distant mirage to the proletariat class.

Abu Elias Sarker
I expected a better write-up from Dr Khatun. For instance, with low allocation of resources even in the past, how come we see "spectacular" improvement in certain areas of social sectors? What is the rationale behind giving top priority on infrastructure? What is the actual method of budget making? Do the budget officials give any performance measures for audit purpose? If outcomes of public expenditures are to be measured, then it must be a planning-oriented, programme budget. Last but not the least, she is absolutely correct in stating that it is unachievable.

Big budget begets big amount of money for politicians. It doesn't have any positive influence on the common people.
