A hero
There are many charges often brought against the police. For example, they take bribe, they do not perform their duties, they indulge in gossiping, they are good for nothing, etc. But recently, all these were proved to be wrong. Sergeant Abdul Baset Talukder proved that there are still some dedicated officers who are always ready to sacrifice their lives for the sake of duty and the country at large.
Now the question arises what we will give to this dedicated man. Giving financial compensation is not enough. There must be a national award for this man. It is my request to The Daily Star to highlight him in its pages. The general people should know him.
I have not seen Abdul Baset Talukder. But I am very much interested to know about him. In my eyes, he is an iconic figure and can easily be a model for all the traffic policemen of this country. If we do not pay any tribute to him, then the problem of road accident can never be solved in this country. I also pay my heartiest tribute to the mother who gave birth to this great son of the soil.
