The interim gov is the main culprit behind this deadly measles epidemic

  • They cancelled deal with Unicef and gavi causing depleted stocks of vaccine shots and syringes
  • didn't conduct the routine mass vaccination campaign scheduled for 2024
  • didn't distribute the second round of vitamin a capsules which is what made the disease so deadly

Some are blaming BNP and BAL for it. But truth is BAL did mass measles vaccination campaign in 2016 and 2020 ensuring everyone was vaccinated. And BNP reversed all the irrational choices made by 'banker' turned health advisor Nurjahan Begum as fast as they could.

Child abuse is NOT EXCLUSIVE to Madrasas

People seem to be stereotyping Madrasas, dress code and culture for a problem that is common in student dormitories around the world. Here are some statistics to support my claim: ​1. Australia: According to Final Report of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse (Australian Government), Between 1950 and 2010, 7% of all religious personnel in certain institutions were accused of CSA. In some specific residential school orders, the number of accused staff reached as high as 40%. The Commission found that the lack of supervision in boarding school dormitories was a primary "situational factor" that facilitated abuse. ​2. United Kingdom: The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) published its final report in 2022. The inquiry examined 3,000 schools. In residential "special schools" (for children with disabilities), the risk was found to be even higher. The report highlighted that some prestigious boarding schools had dozens of victims associated with a single teacher over decades. The report noted that the "closed nature" of boarding school life allowed abusers to operate with impunity. ​3. United States: A 2017 investigation by the Boston Globe identified at least 200 New England boarding schools where students reported sexual abuse by staff members. They documented over 1,000 victims across these elite institutions. My point is don't blame the institution, blame the people

Whenever a women makes a statement online, there will always be plenty of derogatory sexual remarks. And this is irrespective of religion, profession or political identity. If two back to back female PMs couldn't change this, I don't know what will.

Was the US trade deal really bad?

It agreed to buy a lot of things from USA like wheat, aircraft , lpg, raw cotton in exchange of reduced tariffs from the country's single largest export destination. Many say that Yunus sold the country with this deal. Whats your opinion ?

There's also a 60 day time frame to cancel the deal. Do you think Mirza Fakrul will cancel the deal and sign a better one with Trump?

What happens after the BNP regime falls?

There's constant noise in social media about bnps days being numbered. But what after it happens? Will NCP who still dont have a significant foothold take power? Or will it be Jamat who are hated by the liberals? Or will it be the army who after so many regime changes decides to take the power in its own hands? Or will it be BAL who seeing the chaos reemerges and takes charge? This is what I'm most afraid of, as the first thing BAL will do is brand all July fighters as 'rajakars' and put them on trial.

  1. Guy started off his career as a chatro league member eventually becoming a full time BAL
  2. Then he joined BNP in 1979
  3. After Ershads millitary coup, he left bnp for BJP in 1982
  4. Then in 1988, he again joined BNP
  5. Finally in 2025, he referred to the July revolution as a conspiracy by Jamat. Then after being arrested by ICT, he signed an unconditional apology.

This is the kind of flip flopper people are glorifying online.

Between 1972 and 1975, Mujib had imprisoned 1000+ leaders of Jamat. They were all charged for mass murders, arson and rapes under the Collaborators Act of 1972. Many of them were in prison for more than 3 years by the time Moshtaq's government freed them in 1975. Yet I can't find any mention online of a single one of them pleading guilty in that timespan.
