The rude disobedience shown by the field-level administrators – deputy commissioners (DCs) and superintendents of police (SPs) – to the current Election Commission (EC) has once again shown us what’s wrong at the core of our election management mechanism.
The unjust and discriminatory face of corruption
The cost of grand corruption in Bangladesh is only continuing to go up.

It is high time for all of us to accept our own mistakes that led us to the present state of play.
