Remembering Tajuddin Ahmed
It is extremely difficult to even comprehend today that the Awami League had a great leader like Tajuddin Ahmed. A combination of honesty, integrity, intelligence and selfless attitude to serve the nation quietly and with dignity has not been observed in any other leaders in our history. Sadly, our unfortunate nation has not been able to show enough gratitude to this leader both during his lifetime and after the tragic end of his life. Neither the killers have been punished, nor the government has given any sincere effort to this end. It is an insult to the gentle soul of Tajuddin that the Awami League brings out processions, wears black badges and screams for justice when they could have pursued and ended this matter to nation's satisfaction when they were in power. I am glad that Tajuddin Ahmed did not live to see where his political comrades have fallen to and the leadership of his party. As an ordinary citizen, I will pray that the ideals of Tajuddin remain with our next generations so that our children can one day proudly say that Bangladesh once had a politician like Tajuddin.
