I truly appreciate the write-up; I enjoyed every bit of this in-depth enlightening article. Seemingly, there are legitimate fears among many of seeing a partisan president especially after having awful experience with Prof. Iajuddin's presidency. With all due respect, I like to give my two cents in this regard.
Unofficial confirmation of veteran politician Mr. Zillur Rahman as the next president is almost official. In my examination, this will be beneficial for the democratic process in
Mr. Zillur Rahman a highly experienced person who struggled for our countries democratic process throughout his life. He not only showed tremendous courage facing extremely difficult political atmosphere in recent days but his feisty involvement with language movement, struggle against autocratic Ayub regime, his effective leadership during our liberation war, his stand against killers of Bangabandhu and our national leaders displays not just his courage but his ethical sense of identifying right from wrong. Even when he faced with the most tragic event of his life, loosing his dearest wife Ivey Rahman, he remained tranquil but convinced that sacrifice of life will not go into vain. He made the tragedy into force and worked tirelessly and fearlessly to carryout movement against all sorts of terrorism, anarchism and anti democratic rise.
I do not find any reason for not appreciating his candidacy other then his age and health condition. His long political attachment is not a barrier but supportive in a time when democracy is in peril, his courageous guardianship will help to build strong alliance among political entities.
We have seen how the supreme judges who took oath to safeguard the constitution queued to be nominated by military dictators after disposing constitution. Seeing the repeated history of marching of shameless judges, we did not discard them then why we will out rightly reject an honest political icon like Zillur Rahman?
I find Mr. Zillur Rahman as a highly respectable, extremely courageous, honest, sincere and a great political icon of our time and defiantly he will bring back the lost prestige of this constitutional position.
Sincerely
