Pertinent questions


There has been various articles in The Daily Star on how Khaleda Zia and her family have abused power. If there is proof, why is she not being questioned and charged, instead of being allowed to go abroad.

This act will convince the politicians that they will be able to commit crime in Bangladesh and when their time is up they will just fly away to another country to live off the money they have stolen from the people of Bangladesh. Furthermore, this act of generosity will have a negative impact on its credibility. The public of Bangladesh wants to see the criminals punished and not released to live a life of luxury.

Will it be possible for DS to produce a table of all those arrested? This table could hold information such as, name, political affiliation, criminal charge, funds stolen from Bangladesh, status of charge, final conclusion of charge i.e. guilty or not guilty, amount of funds/assets recovered for the people of Bangladesh. This information could be provided in a tabular format and will allow the readers to visually keep track on the progress of their trial.
