Why the hesitation, PM?
It is unbelievable that the government is dragging its feet in according Musa Ibrahim the due honour, respect and gratitude he rightly and richly deserves. Does it have such a myopic view and is so distant from the people that they don't recognize the will of the people?
The PM rushed to bestow flowers, appreciation and a plot of land on the Bangladesh cricketers for a lesser achievement (no disrespect to the cricketers intended). Each cricketer also received large amount from the sponsors. Musa, on the other hand, is still trying to pay off all the bills he accumulated in bringing the honour and glory to Bangladesh.
An innovative and excellent suggestion of putting Musa on a postage stamp was put forward by Sir Frank Peters. That obviously does not put any taka in Musa's pocket directly or in any way assist in securing his future or providing for the welfare of his family, but it does carry enormous esteem and many spin-off benefits for our young hero and Bangladesh in general. Why there is hesitation on the part of the PM to do what is just and right for Musa is beyond my comprehension. They're sure to lose votes on this count alone.
