We have had so many reform commissions, but none on education, reflecting our own sense of priority.
Democracy does not seem to be our focus today. Because if it were, then shouldn’t we have been talking about elections more?
Reform of political parties is of urgent need
Just as the fundamental reforms are necessary for the country, so is an elected government.
Right now, there are two major issues: progress of reforms, and the prospect of election

Sadly, some very disturbing signs can still be seen that are posing a new set of threats against free press.
Hasn't the world already been a witness to the massacre that has been taking place in Gaza over the past several weeks?

Our people, but for whose hard work, sacrifice, and love for the country we would not have come where we have, deserve better.
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?
The prospect of a free and fair election is still eluding us.
