An untenable case
Our ill-advised political leadership always succumbed to the cunning bureaucrats. But Mr. Waheed's comparison of the present state of corruption with Awami League leaders' acquisition of degrees is not only disproportionate but also ill conceived. His laudatory comments on the finance minister for the latter's introduction of the so-called saving schemes is hardly acceptable to the people. During his incumbency, Bangladesh has earned the infamous hattrick for achieving the prime position in corruption.
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. Mr. Rahman's tirade against the TI was another indicator of his frustration. We understand the sorrow of many innocent BNP lovers and appreciate their sugarcoated criticism of the party's failure in all the sectors. But I would request them to maintain some relevancy while attacking the other party. The party in power is not leaving any stone unturned to demolish its predecessor in all conceivable ways.
