Thank you, minister
It was on Wednesday 22nd August 2012, I was watching NTV news. Obaidul Qadir, minister for roads and railways was talking to a journalist. He said, “Despite my best efforts, I know people still faced delays, disruptions and sufferings. I apologise to them”.
This is something very unusual in Bangladesh for a minister to apologise like that. He tried to share the sufferings of the common people. By doing so, Obaiful Qadir has taken a bold step forward. He set up a new standard. He has taken a position high above in the minds of the common people. I congratulate him. I hope this will set a new standard of relationship between the common people and their elected ministers.
