History of hounding
Two articles that appeared in the editorial page of your esteemed daily on March 2 definitely drew the attention of many. Syed Badrul Ahsan, a staunch supporter of Awami League, wrote the history of hounding the leaders and intellectuals by rulers since pre-independence era. He has elaborately drawn a picture how Ayub-Monaem clique tried to hound the personality like Bangabandhu. He writes how the present government is chasing man of letters like Dr. Serajul Islam Chowdhury and the nation's pride Nobel Laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus. He, like thousands, expected Dr. Yunus as a guest of honour with Dr. Amartya Sen at the opening ceremony of Ekushey Boi Mela. Like the writer, we all are frustrated and disappointed at the narrowness of the organisers.
The second article shows how popular Dr. Yunus is among the students of foreign universities and their keenness to listen to his speech and thoughts.
