By holding today’s long awaited general election in Bangladesh, you definitely proved your vision of democracy and development. People supported you when your forces intervened to bring an immediate ends to the political dead look.

However, many of your decision created controversy. But finally your smart forces has proved their true dedication and commitment to the country’s constitution and nation.
I thank the highly conscious voters for practicing their democratic rights peacefully.My thanks also go for the political parties for their peaceful election campaign.

Being a journalist, I had the golden chances to witness vote casting of Sheikh Hasina, elder daughter of our Father of Nation in Dhaka City College centre. I also witnessed Khaleda Zia, country’s first woman prime minister while she was casting her vote in Dhaka Cantonment centre. I think today’s election is the most credible election the history of our dearest and nearest mother land Bangladesh.

I talked many voters, polling agents. They also told me that election was going without any troubles. I talked to local and foreign election observers who were also fully satisfied with the overall election environment.

So I urge all to accept the election results fairly and wok together to fight against poverty, illiteracy, injustice, corruption and terrorism in both home and abroad.

If any political parties unfortunately try to raise any question about the credibility of today’s election, it will be a great sin, a great sin really.

I am voter of Dhaka -8 constituency, where two former student leaders, Rashed Khan Mennon and Habibun Nabi Shohel were main rivals. But I openly voted ‘NO’ because I hate both BNP and AL’s present dangerous so called alliance politics . I gave ‘NO’ vote openly where my two journalist colleagues witnessed it. As I did it openly in front of polling official’s table, they opposed me. But I protested their objection terming it’s my very right.

Today I am also part of the wining party AL as my family and friends worked for AL candidates in my native village in Manikganj district. I congratulate my father, a retired school teacher and his all associates for working hard in favour of Awami League nominated candidate Zahid Malek Swapan , only son of late Col Malek who was also former Dhaka City mayor , minister. AL led our great Independent War in 1971, so nation has given it another victory but on condition to avoid autocrat and corrupts.

Now this is great chance, really a great opportunity to say ‘NO’ to hatred war criminals and recognized autocrat , corrupts from politics jointly by both AL and BNP . BNP and AL must do it for the sake of better Bangladesh, to implement Digital Bangladesh.

Again I thanks all for working to restore democracy in Bangladesh. Long live Bangladesh. All Mighty Allah, please help us, forget us, forgive us.

Being as a journalist , I can not support this kind of unprofessional act by any journalist . He belongs the millions Iraqi people who are suffering a lot for the American aggression in Iraq in the name of protecting the Iraqi people but he definitely crossed his limits violating the code of conduct.
George W Bush did not visit their for any personal ground , he is a president of a country, no one can support any dishonoring of his guest . I don’t support his aggressive foreign policy but he should not be treated in such a unsocial manner especially by a journalist .
I also condemn if any physical or mental torture on him in the name of trial.
