Prof. Dewan
"when thieves or dacoits steal or rob, we don't say they engaged in a corrupt practice. But if a minister on oath pledges something and fails to fulfill his/her pledge, then it is a matter of principle, or lack of it. This then becomes an abuse of principle." (Quote from Daily Star}
Many half-witted Bangladeshi parliamentarians would rather react fast to a comment rather than understanding what has been really said. Professor was clever to use a singular number rather than generalizing all parliamentarians being corrupt and bad. I think they did not get the message. I hope they understand their mistake and extend a apology to the professor. But then again, it is free speech vs free speech.
However, I do not like Clarence Thomas "high tech lynching" analogy in Professor Sayeed's case. That is basically comparing oranges with apples. The man was not seeking any life long judgeship in our Supreme Court while Mr. Thomas was going for life long tenure and legitimately, he was a fair game. We would never know what he did or did not do to Ms. Hill but he has been proven to be a total disaster for US supreme court. The man has not asked a single question in US Supreme court since his appointment. The man is basically a brainless rubber stamp guy and I wish he were not in the SC. A real conservative guy would have a far better choice. Thank you.

The ruling party elites in the past humiliated only Bangladeshi respectable Professor and Grameen founder noble winner Dr. Mohhammad Yunus,
now they are doing the same to distinguished respectable Professor Abdullah Abu Said. If you donot believ in Awami/Baksaliiu idiology and criticize Awami action you will be humilated no exception.
They became Ma-Bap of Bangladesh. They never accept their responsibility nor apologize for their stake, this is their charecteristic.Morever, they are criticizing the Justices who are doing the right thing.
