15th amend to Bangladesh Constitution is unconstitutional because: it violated the short order of the Appellate Div; no referendum was held before its passage; a third of the Constitution was made unamendable - one Parliament can't bind future Parliament. https://t.co/aTo8H6v4BG
Bangladesh's growing economic crisis, democratic deficits and governance failures are largely rooted in broken promises of the ruling party. Thus economic reforms without political and governance reforms will be like pouring water into a pitcher with holes underneath.
Without VVPAT, election results declared by EC must be accepted as final as they can't be re-counted. Jamilur Reza Chowdhury refused to endorse the purchase of EVM without VVPAT. Indian SC ordered the addition of VVPAT in their EVM. Why is our EC again buying EVM without VVPAT?
Democracy require consent of the people gained through free and fair elections. Unfortunately our government now has to depend on foreign powers, not the people, for being in power. What a sad state of affairs!

EC seeking authority to cancel election results. Per Noor Hossain v Nazrul Islam [45 BLC(AD)2000], EC already has that authority in case of allegations of rigged and unjust elections and it can also order re-polling. We are confused by EC's actions.

Unreasonable increases in fuel prices will have impact on every sector of the economy, causing the level of economic activities to slow down. This will have effects on the lives and livelihood of many people. We, as citizens, must speak up.

Today's newspaper headline: record price increases for petrol and diesel. Why should the public pay for the cronyism, corruption and mismanagement of the energy sector by the ruling coterie?

Justice Kazi Ebadul Haque died last night. He wrote many bold judgments as Appellate Division Justice. He was Vice President of SHUJAN and played important roles in promoting democracy and good governance. We pray for his departed soul. Condolences to his family.

Monirul Haque was not the only losing party in Cumilla city corporation election. EC was a big loser. So was the EVM. The ruling party also did not fare well. https://t.co/FrQIvqoxoB

Per sec. 90B of the RPO, no registered political party can have affiliated/associated bodies in their constitution. Recently Prothom Alo reported that a particular student organization controls who stays in university hostels. Will the EC enforce its own law?

@MajGenMunir@ayeshakabir@ahmedka1 Congratulations Ayesha. You richly deserve the award. I know how difficult it is to translate and you and your team have done that difficult task and have done well.
@the_nazmul This madness must stop. Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists and Christians are all Bangladeshi citizens and we must protect each other and each othersโ religious freedom. I urge all my fellow citizens to be vigilant against those who are trying to cause troubles.
