The country needs people like Anna Hazare to root out corruption.

Why are you blaming the department? Why can't you drive the department to do their job?

Jihad
His smiling face is fixed without any change. He is not accountable to anyone.

M.R.R.Khan
Tarana Halim, we all are with you. We needed a starter. You are our starter. We can do a lot to bring the country on right track. Please start. You will find that you are not alone.

Nawaz
They are repairing the roads now because they are under pressure from the media and the businessmen. But we just wonder when these roads would return to their current state again!

Faqrul
The reactions of Communication Minister is so shocking that one hates to think that he is our minister who enjoys full confidence of the prime minister to continue as member of her cabinet.

Khan Sharif Raihan
Are we, the civil society men, still not having wake up call? Government might sleep well even after many losses. We must give big jerk to all responsible people and authority to do something about safety.

Saleh-Rahim Ahmed
He decorated his office spending crores of taka just after taking oath! He thought that the luxurious chamber and vehicles he uses will give him best testimony of his portfolio not the roads and transport system on which 160 millions people are depended!

Md. S I Bhuiyan
He uses expensive cars. Sonia Gandhi or PM Monmohan Singh uses Ambassador though they are from a richer country.

I salute Tarana Halim for her stand. She gathered courage to speak against Abul and Shahjahan. These two ministers including Finance Minister and Commerce Minister should resign. Do these ministers have any self-respect? Tarana, keep your fight up. People of Bangladesh are with you.

All responsibilities go to Abul. Why didn't he raise the fund problem issue in monthly cabinet meeting to acknowledge PM. Actually he did not monitor the condition of national highways regularly. He has got no right to hold the post. He should resign or should be sacked. Otherwise, PM has to pay a lot for this.

Nawaz
Strange, just unbelievable! Ministers are blaming each other, everyone but themselves! So I guess it would be a correct conclusion that the PM should bear the real blame. After all it's her cabinet that is showing this inefficiency. So, responsibility lies with her for allowing these incompetent ministers in her cabinet.
