President of Bikalpa Dhara Bangladesh (BDB) AQM Badruddoza Chowdhury on Saturday strongly deplored the Prime Minister’s remarks over his meeting with BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, saying Sheikh Hasina exposed her bad taste by calling a former president ‘Badu Kaka’.
“It’s a manifestation of bad taste of a person like the honourable Prime Minister by making fun of calling a former president Badu Kaka,” the former president said in a statement.
He also said it is an unbecoming comment by a prime minister as well as a daughter of Bangabandhu.
On Thursday night, B Chowdhury had a meeting with Khaleda Zia at her Gulshan office where he urged the BNP chief to send a proposal to the government for engaging in a dialogue aiming to hold a free, fair and inclusive fresh national election.
Pointing at the meeting, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at a rally at Suhrawardy Udyan on Friday said the BNP chairperson is now looking for newer excuses to wage a fresh movement.
“Now she (Khaleda) is supplicating those whom she had driven away before. I’ve seen in a picture that she (Khaleda) wearing a red saree is talking to Badu Kaka (Dr Badruddoza Chowdhury). I don’t know whether Badu Kaka went there with a bunch of Rajanigandha.”
Strongly protesting the remarks, the BDB chief urged the Prime Minister to refrain from making such low taste comment. “The post of Prime Minister is very respectful for sovereign Bangladesh. It’s expected to make courteous comments from such office.”
B Chowdhury said the Prime Minister used to give people an impression that she says prayers and recites verses from the holy Quran. “She might have noticed that there is a strong prohibition in the holy Quran on distorting one’s name.”
Mentioning that Badruddoza, Shamsuddoha and Nurul Huda are the synonymous with the name of the greatest prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Pbuh), he requested the Prime Minister not to make mockery of the sacred name.

This is so sad, we have a prime minister who seems to possess zero sense of civility. One wonders how was she brought up, language of taunt and insult seems to come naturally to her. This is the kind of people that are often referred to and commonly known in our society, as “Chotolok”.
Sadly for Bangladesh that it is now ruled by a leader who excels in all known canons of impoliteness and ill manners. She seems to have nil capacity of doing or saying anything that is decent.
In her snipe against Mr. B. Chowdhury she revealed this ugly part of her character once more. This woman is a Prime Minister and yet she did not have the basic sense to realize that the person she attacked with her foul mouth is not a mere political adversary but an ex-President.
Her entry into Bangladesh politics has not only made the entire political discourse dangerously ugly and uncouth, she is leaving a legacy that will take long to correct.
On a more serious note, parents that are committed to bringing their children up with values of humility and courtesy should worry and do everything possible to quarantine the kids from the diseases of foul manners and vulgar vocabulary that this woman is spreading!
I agree with ADK in his characterization of Hasina as “Chotolok.” I am deeply concerned about the future of Bangladesh with such a person in the leadership position with no qualities of a good leader. Her comments about our former President is another example of her menacing character which can be compared to herself alone. She lacks the qualities of a leader who must energize the people with inspiring words. What she does is just opposite of what is expected of a Prime Minister. So help us God!
