Young ministers

Inclusion of a number of young ministers in the cabinet by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina reflects her farsightedness and goodwill to develop future leadership. Of course some are of the opinion that in this crucial time of global recession and diplomatic congestion, senior leaders should be given more importance in case of placement and deputation. Meanwhile, I believe that the young leadership opted for is appropriate. Moreover, those younger members who have been included in the cabinet are well qualified and energetic. Here I would like to mention the name of Dr. Shireen Sharmin Chowdhury who has recently been included in the cabinet as a state minister and given the responsibility of Children and Women Affairs Ministry. She possesses a strong academic background, intellectual ability plus excellent human relation skills.
It is sincerely hoped that the new juniors in collaboration with the senior ones under the able and dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina would be successful in making a peaceful and prosperous Bangladesh.
