It would be a gigantic, horrific mistake, and grave injustice to Bangladesh Freedom Fighters – living and dead – if the elections were held this year. A grave injustice.
For the first time in all its 54 years of existence, Bangladesh has a rare opportunity to clean up the horrific mess created by business opportunists and corrupt politicians, shamefully forgetting why the war was fought between Bangladesh and Pakistan.
The war was fought in 1971 to unshackle Bengalis from corruption, and w...
It is often said the worst sight in the world is to witness ignorance and stupidity in action.
That said, roadwork construction workers, their supervisors, and management in Nurerchala, are taking it to a new level and their mission, seemingly, is to win a Guinness Book of Records citation for their disgraceful efforts.
They’ve dug up four adjoining roads to install new sewerage pipes. (Bravo!)
