Tampered gold crests

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina  at a press conference at Gono Bhaban on 1st June said, “It is not important how much gold was there (in the crest), it is important to honour the foreign friends and we did it.”
Yes, Honourable PM, it does not matter how much gold there was but it does matter how much we deceived them. The thing that our PM missed is that people who were in charge of upholding the spirit of Liberation had severely undermined it. What our PM has said will not only encourage those people who were involved in stealing gold but it will also diminish whatever the chances of punishment were there. It is noteworthy to mention that instead of 22.3 gm of gold, BSTI found only 2.3 gm of gold in each crest given to our foreign friends who helped us during our Liberation War.
