Saturday’s violence may only be a premonition of much worse days to come

When dialogue fails, confrontation becomes inevitable.

Bangladesh is reeling under internal turmoil, external pressures, and an irresponsible and immature political leadership.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said Bangladesh will not plunge into an era of darkness if her party remains in power

Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader today said Awami League will not allow BNP to take to the streets during a 36-day ultimatum he issued to the opposition

The ruling Awami League today announced a series of programmes to be held from September 23 to October 4, following BNP's announcement of a 15-day programme yesterday

Ruling party must discourage violent confrontations

As the BNP plans to intensify its movement for polls under a non-partisan administration, the Awami League and law enforcement agencies are determined to keep the capital under their control.

While the ruling Awami League is already gearing up for the election, opposition BNP is concentrating its efforts on forcing the government to accept the demand for polls under a non-partisan interim administration.

The Election Commission and Awami League seem to have started taking preparations for the coming national election.

Around 90 of the Awami League lawmakers -- about a third of the 261 AL MPs -- may not get nomination in the next general election for their misdeeds and growing unpopularity, party sources said.

With the elections just four months away, there are hardly any campaigns.

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir yesterday called upon all opposition parties to take to the streets to force the Awami League government to quit and hold the next polls under a non-party government

Shouldn't our politicians focus on how to best serve the people?

BNP’s real loss in announcing the sit-ins without proper coordination was giving the upper hand to the ruling party

One can argue that BNP does not have the organisational wisdom or the cunning to wage a crippling street campaign

Our people, but for whose hard work, sacrifice, and love for the country we would not have come where we have, deserve better.

Authorities must prevent violence and legal intimidation targeting BNP activists

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 rigid positions of AL-BNP will only lengthen the political deadlock
