I would like to see a commentary by Mr. Mahfuz Anam on the deteriorating human rights situation in Bangladesh.

Tarnished the country's image? Does the minister have any idea how he and other dumb ministers and politicians are tarnishing the image of the country?

Vikram Khan
A human rights campaigner in jail, a Nobel laureate under investigation, a newspaper closed down, democracy on the brink of collapse due to lack of responsible governance. Awami League has found an original way to start its election campaign!

Raihan
I am sad and disgusted to see how this government doesn't at all care about human rights and can arrest anyone and do whatever they like. This government is getting worse than BNP.

Bangali
It is another bad act of this disgusting government.

Masood Rahman
Democracy, Awami style. You speak the truth and you will be remanded.

“Extortion takes toll on hawkers” (August 7, 2013)

Ash C.
Not bad at all! Out of 5 to 7 crore extorted from the poor hawkers, 2 - 2.80 crore goes to the police, 1.25 - 1.75 crore to BCL and other AL affiliates and 1.75 - 2.45 crore to their 'helpers'. This shows just a glimpse of what is broadly happening around the country. A real AL achievement indeed and should take a proud place among other AL billboard 'achievements'!

Max
This news should be an eye-opener for those who believe that AL lost 5 city corporations due to the opposition's use of Hefajat.

Snr Citizen
Things are going from bad to worse, if all that is reported is true. Future of next generation is going to be very difficult.

Faisal
When party changes, the people associated with extortion also change. Only the police personnel remain constant. This tells the story of who really is supporting and encouraging extortion.
