Daily Star and Prothom Alo are PM's favourite target! Does she not know that people don't like arrogance?

TDS does what it is supposed to do. Problem is PMO and their associated wings including Inu's information ministry are not very comfortable with the way TDS does its job. It is the country's no.1 English daily. Our PM has a unique quality: the more she opens her mouth, the more damage she does to AL.

PM is very arrogant. She thinks it is her birthright to rule Bangladesh as she is the daughter of the father of the nation.

You are right, Madam Prime Minister. 'Light rolls into darkness,' but while lighting the other side of this planet. And, yet, the stars never stop shinning, no matter where the sun is positioned. Your statement with regard to your granting licences to 15 TV channels clearly indicates that you wanted these channels to 'sing' only your praise.

PM's belief in freedom of speech appears to be genuine as exemplified by her statements on different issues particularly the media. She gave free play to the expression of her grievances against everyone and everything that she felt appropriate. Is it not the example of real and unrestrained freedom of speech?

“Some points to ponder” (August 19, 2013)

Poor child. It is clear that drugs had altered her state of mind in such a way that she could not function as a rational individual. Once the fog of drugs leaves her mind, she will come to realise what she has done and will have to live with that for the rest of her life.

This sort of bookish criticism deserves to be ignored lock, stock and barrel. Over sensitivity towards individual rights irrespective of their obligations is one of the prime causes of such tragic erosion of moral values in modern times. A girl having been reared up in a well-off as well as educated family who can conceive of and chalk out such a deliberate plan to kill her parents can never be treated as a child whatever her age might be.
