Dr. Kamal Hossain


Dr. Kamal Hossain has begged apology to the nation for his trusting some leading politicians of the country out of his own simple mindedness. He has asked those crafty, crooked, anti-people top politicians, as well, to beg apology to the nation just as he himself did. In the same interview he asked the government to put those 'class one' leaders to speedy trial for the crimes they have committed, instead of running after the second and third levelers.

Dr. Kamal Hossain is well known not only in the country but also in the outside world as a lawyer of repute . He was drawn into politics nearly four decades ago by the then Awami League chief Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, and for the same line up he happened to be the first law minister of Bangladesh under the Mujib government beginning in January 1972. In the decades past, he also survived in politics not entirely having his lot with the Awami League.

Despite being a well-known international personality and a heavyweight by himself, he could do little as far as elective democracy is concerned. Having failed to do enough in power politics all on his own, he joined hands with different political parties during the last decade, the latest one being the Awami League itself. Now it appears quite clearly from his latest statement of begging apology that he has been let down by his latest associates.

One can only wish that he lived the rest of his life with the wisdom he has acquired through many trials and tribulations.
