B Chy terms PM’s remarks indecent

Staff Reporter :
President of Bikalpa Dhara Bangladesh (BDB) AQM Badruddoza Chowdhury on Saturday strongly deplored the Prime Minister’ s remarks over his meeting with BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, saying Sheikh Hasina exposed her bad taste by calling a former president ‘Badu Kaka’.
“It’s a manifestation of bad taste of a person like the honourable Prime Minister by making fun of calling a former president Badu Kaka,” the former president said in a statement.
He also said it is an unbecoming comment by a prime minister as well as a daughter of Bangabandhu.
On Thursday night, B Chowdhury had a meeting with Khaleda Zia at her
Gulshan office where he urged the BNP chief to send a proposal to the government for engaging in a dialogue aiming to hold a free, fair and inclusive fresh national election.
Pointing at the meeting, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at a rally at Suhrawardy Udyan on Friday said the BNP chairperson is now looking for newer excuses to wage a fresh movement.
“Now she (Khaleda) is supplicating those whom she had driven away before. I’ve seen in a picture that she (Khaleda) wearing a red saree is talking to Badu Kaka (Dr Badruddoza Chowdhury). I don’t know whether Badu Kaka went there with a bunch of Rajanigandha.”
Strongly protesting the remarks, the BDB chief urged the Prime Minister to refrain from making such low taste comment. “The post of Prime Minister is very respectful for sovereign Bangladesh. It’s expected to make courteous comments from such office.”
B Chowdhury said the Prime Minister used to give people an impression that she says prayers and recites verses from the holy Quran. “She might have noticed that there is a strong prohibition in the holy Quran on distorting one’s name.”
Mentioning that Badruddoza, Shamsuddoha and Nurul Huda are the synonymous with the name of the greatest prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Pbuh), he requested the Prime Minister not to make mockery of the sacred name.
