Poet, fiction writer and political analyst Mujtoba Ahmed Murshed's birthday is being celebrated today. He was born in Baluadanga Mohalla of Dinajpur city on this day in 1961.
BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman is currently receiving an outpouring of congratulations due to his imminent assumption of the role of Prime Minister of Bangladesh within the next day or two. We extend our congratulations to Tarique Rahman on this significant occasion of becoming the leader of the nation, following the party's substantial victory in the national elections. However, as a professional journalist, I feel it is my responsibility to highlight a crucial aspect of national politics. As a conscientious citizen, I wish to avoid witnessing any future head of government being perceived as a 'disrespectful' figure by the conclusion of their term. I understand that such discussions may not be well-received in the current climate. While it is certainly gratifying to hear words of commendation today, I seek to hear something more substantial, as my professional obligation is to convey the truth with clarity and precision.
