Irene Khan joins DS

Pradip Das, Lecturer, BHPI, CRP

It's great news for the newspaper as well as thousands of readers that Irene Khan is joining The Daily Star. Irene Khan, an internationally recognized human rights advocate, could easily settle in any other prosperous country but she did not do so. Her decision to stay with us would serve as a burning example of patriotism when a large portion of our brilliant students migrate to the west for better education as well as to settle down there. From the newspaper, I came to know that she would be contributing in the field of human rights, good governance, gender issues and democracy. In this regard, being a regular reader of The Daily Star, I have a request for her, please look into the poor road- traffic system of our country which has already snatched away the lives of thousands of people. Joining of Irene Khan will definitely add a new dimension to The Daily Star.
