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.

What was once a startling thunderclap passed off as a whimper, what was welcomed by millions and celebrated as the rebirth of our democracy, went hardly noticed, what was termed as the victory of the people over the military did not receive any public attention. Is this inattention a statement of what democracy has now come to mean for us? A distant dream? Otherwise why such indifference?
I am of course referring to December 6, the day General Ershad fell from power in 1990 opening the door for our transition from dictatorship to democracy which has thankfully survived, but just, and terribly bruised. To repeat what I have recently written, it is Covid infected, with severely affected lungs and cannot breathe.
