PM and HardTalk
Very few heads of state and influential persons managed to survive the interview by Stephen Sackur in BBC HardTalk programme. If a head of state is not a clean person, have vindictive attitude, shows undemocratic behaviour, then HardTalk is very hard for them. Our prime minister was unable to answer the questions properly and to the point, asked by Stephen Sackur during his interview session. There were grammatical mistakes in statements made by our prime minister while replying to Stephen Sackur but that is not a problem because many heads of state cannot speak in English at all. (Thanks to the editor of The Daily Star newspaper for publishing the contents of the interview after correction).
I would like to mention the name of a former head of state Mr Mahathir Mohammad of Malaysia who ruled the country with an iron hand for 25 years without any protest from the citizens, won the hearts of his countrymen, made enormous developments, changed the country from an agricultural hub to an industrial giant, was away from corruption, and about whom the whole world still talk with respect. In contrast, our head of state could not even start the major development projects in three and half years, supports nepotism, whenever she gets a microphone she starts criticising the opposition leader and cannot control her vindictiveness. We all know that BNP was corrupt while in power and did nothing for the country during their tenure but we expected a change from our present prime minister for whom we voted with lots of hope.
