Dr. Kamal Hossain's apology


Certain apologies come from the heart and others from the brain, the one not accepted by the people comes from the brain and doesn't deserve to be accepted.

People of this country are simple but not foolish; they know their friends by deeds, not by mere words.

I feel like writing something after reading Mr. Badrul Ahsan's article on Dr. Kamal. I agree with the writer. It was really amazing to have an apology from such an eminent person.

I cannot remember any other politician who apologised publicly.

***

I am writing this letter to express my satisfaction with Mr. Ahsan's analysis of one of our key politician's apology. The apology gave a hint that the person had no knowledge of the corruption that his previous 'political' friends indulged in. I did not personally expect such a gesture from a person of his stature.

If he said that he had decided to befriend them because they were lesser of the two evils, I would have understood his point.
