Minister's rants against journos

A few years back we went to Moulvibazar to perform one of our plays at the invitation of a local theatre group. The venue was Saifur Rahman auditorium. Later, our group was invited for tea by Syed Mohsin Ali, present social welfare minister, at his residence.

During our conversation, Mohsin claimed himself to be a wounded freedom fighter. To prove it, all on a sudden, he got up and put off his shirt and vest to show the scar on his body. At this we, all the team members present there, especially the ladies, felt very embarrassed.

I am astonished how this type of ill-mannered person dares to call journalists dirty chaps and people without character. May Allah save us from people like him who has been given the responsibility to take care of the welfare of society.
