The attack on Hero Alom: A lost opportunity
Our failure to defend Hero Alom points only to our intellectual bankruptcy
What message emanates from the attack on Hero Alom?
Hero Alom may have been ostracised by our political and cultural elites, but he has a huge fan base among the poor and working class.
Column by Mahfuz Anam: Need for a change in our political culture
BNP to some extent and AL to a far greater extent have changed Bangladesh. Can’t we expect them to change themselves, even a bit?
Why tie up EC’s hands further?
The amendment of the Representation of the People Order (RPO) comes at a critical juncture when the demand for holding a free and fair election in Bangladesh is getting louder at home and abroad
What will it take for our next election to be credible and acceptable to all?
It must be recognised that the election is not a one-day phenomenon – it is a process involving multiple interrelated steps
Editorial / Hoping for free and fair elections
With three city corporation elections coming up, we hope the Election Commission and other authorities will take all the necessary steps to ensure free and fair elections in Rajshai, Sylhet and Barisal.
If we really want genuinely free and fair elections. . .
We need an EC which is truly independent from all aspects; this independence does not only mean structural independence, but operational and financial independence along with individual independence of the election commissioners.
