The new 'civil society member'Dr. Chowdhury analysed that "we need large number of educated, honest, sincere, broadminded and efficient people to take up the leadership in politics and society." But what he forgot to mention was that we also need a man with guts and courage and not a coward and a timid personality like him who escaped from the post of the presidency at the behest of the BNP parliamentary party. As a president, whose obligation was to uphold the constitution, didn't he know that the decree of BNP parliamentary party had no constitutional base? According to him, " If I am resisted, I will tackle it when it comes." But how come he didn't have the nerve to tackle when he was kicked out of Banga Bhaban?

Furthermore Dr. Chowdhury says, he "resigned from the presidency of the republic on account of disagreement on principle." Disagreement with whom? As president, he was not supposed to have any affinity with political party. How can a presidentthe symbol of sovereignty ­- flee from his responsibilities to the nation because of 'disagreement on principle?' Whom is he trying to fool?

He begged to be excused for he 'curtailed the menu of the Iftar in view of the monga situation' but not for the party at the lavish winter garden of Sheraton hotel? What a level of hypocrisy! Shabash Dr. Chowdhury, shabash Bangladesh.
