Finance minister's observations

His was a stultifying effort. The American nation as a whole is in disgrace, and its administration has not dragged its feet to bring each and everyone responsible to face the nemesis.

In matters of dismal law and order state, he in the same vein quipped that murders and rapes happen also in America and American newspapers print those on the back page. How come the FM draws an analogy between the US and Bangladesh? American people do not have to see their lawmakers and political veterans of the opposite camp being murdered, one after another, allegedly by goons of the party in power, neither do they read the news of a father and son cut into pieces, of a suspected outlaw tortured and choked out of life and then hung on a tree. They have not even heard of that with change of government the offenders in thousands in custody could get scot-free by reason of their alignment with the party in power without even any primary enquiry. Rapists, many of whom are party activists, move freely after committing heinous crimes as they did on many Mahimas. The government has politicised (or polluted ?) the police department and the judiciary and so the perpetrators are not brought to justice. The lawmaker of the AL was eliminated by brush-fire in broad daylight,(in a meeting place) and also just when the development partners were in session in Dhaka, and the police without tracking down the killers took AL activists into custody. Of course, crimes of horrific nature are committed in American society, but the criminals are not spared on political identity.
