In Bangladeshi politics, crime, corruption, murder etc. look good on your CV.

If Syed Ashraful Islam's words are to be believed that “The party finalised its candidates based on grassroots opinion gathered over the last one year,” then why has the name of our beloved MP Shafiqul Islam from Sirajganj-4, whose name was in the leaked list yesterday, been replaced with HT Imam's son today?

As long as anyone is sufficiently submissive to Hasina, all sins are forgiven. It really doesn't matter to her who is good for the country. What matters is who is good to her.

The country is heading towards great progress under the first lady dictator.

If they try to exclude all the tainted figures they will not be in a position to give nomination to more than two or three AL members.

Who is not tainted? No politician is a “dhoa tulshi pata” at least from the moral point of view.

Thank you for an excellent and thoughtful analysis. The conclusion truly reflects what we have been going through.

In the final analysis we know what needs to be done—only two persons are behind this sliding dark path and we are still giving them chances! Grow up Bangladesh, smell the ashes and throw the garbage out.

“Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; / Mere anarchy is loosed upon Bangladesh!!” Sorry, W. B. Yeats, for replacing the last word “world” with “Bangladesh.” Nothing can describe Bangladesh now but these lines.

“Meanwhile, Sheikh Hasina is upholding the constitution and Khaleda Zia is fighting for a poll-time caretaker government.” Yes indeed, Nero fiddled while Rome burnt.

Very well written; I hope the biased and unbiased readers will ponder over it.

Can't our journalists provide the authorities with information including the possible photographs of the arsonists?

One wonders who will benefit from these senseless acts.
