Over-reporting on minister's marriage

I fully agree with Faruque Hasan's letter "Reporting that's in bad taste" published in your daily on 11th November. Why this event attracted so much attention? Was it for the first time in the country that a man married a woman half his age? Did our minister commit any crime by marrying at the age of 67? I really did not like the piece "The railway minister and his trophy wife" at all. I did not expect such bad taste from a writer who otherwise is a well-respected columnist.

Best wishes for the newly wed couple!
