Last desire!

ASM Abdul Aziz, Mohammadpur, Dhaka
One news item published in your daily on 26th November under the heading "Saifur's last desire in politics" has attracted my attention. Mr. Rahman is reported to have boasted about his being the senior most Finance Minister in Asia announcing the highest number of national budgets in the sub-continent. He has also claimed that during his stint as FM there was more development in Bangladesh than other neighbouring countries. Time has not come yet to pass judgement as to whether there was real development in the country. But there was certainly unprecedented development of the members of his family!
