Only partial views

It is really unfortunate for us that most of the column writers are more or less biased to a certain political party. As a result, we mostly get partial views on important issues. So if we analyze the situation it would become clear that the brains of our genius are divided for the two main political parties, rather than for the development of the country.

For example, Mr. Gaffar Chowdhury has been writing in the newspapers for quite a long time. I haven't got the opportunity of reading all his writings but I have gone through almost all of his articles published in the last five years. The most shocking thing that I have observed in all of his pieces is that he has always been trying hard to divide the country into Awami League supporters and BNP adherents. We cannot get any impartial conclusion from his articles. Mostly he writes on topics connected with the AL and the BNP, which are often not very related to the country's development.

His last article, published in a Bangla daily on February 18, focussed on criticising the editors of the Prothom Alo and The Daily Star, because they wrote something which hurt his favourite party. According to Mr. Choudhury, The Daily Star and the Prothom Alo exploited the attack on Tipu Sultan politically, and it seems that no AL leader was responsible for that attack.

We want to know from Mr. Chowdhury who did really attack and injure the journalist?
