 Bangladesh News : Iajuddin Ahmed executing dubious designs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Whether Iajuddin has the liberty to pronounce such an opinion in public, given that he is the head of state and is expected to play a unifying role in these trying times rather than a divisive one, may be up for debate.
What Iajuddin chose not to mention to the unsuspecting listeners was that the sections of the Code of Criminal Procedure that he quoted in his speech — 129, 130 and 131 — only allow the armed forces to be called in to disperse unlawful assemblies that cannot be otherwise dispersed.
What bodes even worse for the nation is the growing suspicion that Iajuddin’s misdemeanours, on an escalating trend in their scale and regularity since his assumption of executive power, are not expressions of naivete and incompetence, but the execution of dubious designs yet to unfold in the public eye.
