Ashraf's indecent remarks

Recently Syed Ashraful Islam, secretary general of Awami League and LGRD minister, made derogatory remarks about Nisha Desai Biswal, US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs, and the US ambassador to Bangladesh Dan Mozena. He termed the first one as “two penny worth of a minister” and compared the latter with his domestic help “Morzina”. These kinds of indecent and arrogant remarks made by our senior politicians are ruining the image of Bangladesh to the international community. As a senior politician, he may have the right to criticise other diplomats, but he should have done it politely following diplomatic norms.
