Stop clashes between students of Dhaka College, City College
Dhaka College and City College—two neighbouring educational institutions in the capital—seem to have a relationship like that of snake and mongoose. Day by day they appear to be turning into “eternal enemies”. Why they clash every now and then is something not only the general public but even the law enforcement agencies reportedly do not know. Yet their clashes continue in succession, which is a matter of concern for the country’s education.
Who is operating BCB from behind
In the cricket field and outside the field, so many non-cricketing activities have been going on over the past few months that it is not only unacceptable but downright condemnable. This is a matter of concern for the future of the country’s cricket. Those who are playing games centring cricket, muddying the waters, those who are fuelling it, have assumed that now is the time to achieve their ulterior motives because such an opportunity may not come again in the future. A storm is engulfing the game of cricket. Some particular men are now more important in cricket than the game itself. Arbitrary practices are increasing in cricket. Deception, disrespect, humiliation and shameful roles are on the rise. The actors are lengthening the cricket ‘documentary’ day by day. Those who are making tall talks about cricket recklessly for personal gain, immersing themselves in hostile opposition, are not doing the right thing. Now it is necessary for everyone to unite in the interest of the country’s cricket.
Government's role disappointing over Gazipur incidents
What a horrific scene! A group of youths are hacking and slitting a journalist's throat on the street! A video circulating on social media shows a man being murdered in a festive atmosphere. If there were any signs of anger on the faces of the murderers, it could still be said that this is an expression of some kind of anger. But what can we say about these gruesome murderers with smiling faces? In another video, a journalist is seen being beaten up indiscriminately by a group of youths in presence of police. They are pelting him with brick. Such a brutal murder and beating scene on the street would leave any sensitive person speechless and shocked. Both the one who was murdered and the one who was beaten up and seriously injured are local journalists. This is not the first incident of journalist torture in Bangladesh. But this is the first time that the horrific scene of a journalist being murdered on the street in front of hundreds of people has been seen.
Bureaucracy ailment
For quite some time now, driven by the madness of old age, I’ve had the urge to write this piece. Some might see it as unsolicited advice, or question my right to say such things. That right, however, is nothing more than this: the writer is a resident of the cultural region known as South Asia; two, teaching has been his profession, so it has become second nature to him; and three, he is of age. In Bangladesh, an elderly person is called a murubbi, and murubbis are said to be accorded a special respect. Their words are meant to be heard by the younger ones—though how far that holds true in reality, I do not know. In many countries around the world, the elderly are viewed with a certain care, and even in democratic Western societies, they receive kindness and consideration. These, then, are the excuses from the writer’s side.
Ensure punishment for crimes committed by political party leaders, activists
The practice of occupying others’ property to establish party political offices has long been prevalent in Bangladesh. Numerous incidents of murder, killing, and violence have occurred over this issue. Recently, the nation witnessed yet another brutal killing of this nature. According to news reports, in an area of Narayanganj, a local office of a political party had long been set up inside an individual's personal shop. The actual owner of the shop, despite repeated requests, could not get the office removed. Eventually, when he demanded the rightful rent for the shop, he was brutally beaten to death.
How necessary is reform, and how sustainable can it be?
The word “reform” is short, but its meaning and significance are immense and multifaceted. According to the Oxford and Cambridge dictionaries, it means: “to make an improvement, especially by changing a person's behaviour or the structure of something.”
