SSF protection
We only hope that the government and their well-wishers have deliberated quite extensively before making such a law. We can see reason for two living daughters of founder president Sheikh Mujibur Rahman to be given the SSF cover. But their children live abroad, even have foreign wives. How the family is defined and to what dimension geographically and extended family wise over the next decades. This is not clear to us. Therefore, this law can be challenged in the court which would be most unfortunate because this might raise the question of security of Sheikh Hasina and Sheikh Rehana, when away from power, but they deserve to get it as long as they are alive.
This law will only justify the residence of Khaleda Zia to be in the cantonment for security reason. Moreover, their claim for SSF will be more justified since they have also security risk. This is an emotional law and needs further review and clarification to sustain as a good law. The title of the law can be made more related to facts than emotion.
