The recent handover of the presidency of Bangladesh from Mohammad Abdul Hamid to Mohammad Shahabuddin has been a remarkable event in the history of Bangladesh. The Government initiative to ensure a peaceful and smooth transfer of power is really commendable, especially when we look at the tumultuous end of tenures of many previous presidents. Mr. Hamid, serving two consecutive terms as President uninterruptedly, has set a unique example by handing over his power to his worthy successor Mr. Shahabuddin. And the success of the outgoing President and the incumbent Government has been a symbol of democratic strength in Bangladesh.
The Hamid presidency has proved the obvious choice for Bangladesh. His legacy is one of stability, dignity, and service to the people. He has set a high bar for future leaders to follow, and his commitment to the country's development and prosperity will be remembered for years to come.
Participants held placards with various demands, including the repeal of Bangladesh's current digital security law, control of the market's rising commodity prices, protection of democracy and free speech, and an end to extrajudicial killings.
