The unveiling ceremony of the book was held in the city's Bishwa Shahitto Kendro at 6 pm today.
Chief Executive of Bishwa Shahitto Kendro Professor Abdullah Abu Sayeed, Adviser to the ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Dr. Asif Nazrul, Information and Broadcasting Adviser Syeda Rizwana Hasan, Political Analyst and Economist Dr. Mahbubullah, Chairman of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Dr. Mohammad Abdul Momen and Press Secretary to the Chief Adviser Muhammad Shafiqul Alam attended the event as special guests and discussants respectively.
Speaking at the event, Syeda Rizwana Hasan urged to build a constructive society where everyone will be allowed to evolve their inherent intellect.
She also urged policymakers and political parties not to politicize administrative structures. "Politicizing administrative structures hinder proper blooming of intellect. When administrative people directly get involved in politics, people can't avail proper services. We must get rid of this culture to have a harmonious society."
Reflecting on the book of Adviser Fouzul Kabir, she said "The book addresses problems that appear in our society including the bureaucracies and other parts."
Prof. Asif Nazrul also noted that most of the bureaucrats of our system still remained too conventional and steady.
He urged serving bureaucrats to prepare themselves and their mindset for serving people with their best.
"Our officers think, becoming an officer is the final destination but they must remember that becoming officer is the very first stage of becoming responsible to the country and people to change society," he added.
Highlighting the characteristics of the book written by Adviser Fouzul Kabir Khan, he said, "Fouzul Kabir writes in a very specific style and his writings can be understood easily. Even without thorough reading one can understand the themes of his writing."
Prof Abdullah Abu Sayeed said, "The writings of Fouzul Kabir give us deep insights on one hand and on the other hand his writing gives us hope of a brighter future for our society."
The author of the book Dr. Mohammad Fouzul Kabir Khan attended the ceremony as the chief guest with Chairman of the Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission Jalal Ahmed in the chair.
Dr. Fouzul Kabir thanked all for participating in the unveiling ceremony. Noting his motivation to write, he said, "I write from my responsibility and love towards my society."
The book is a compilation of my previous writings published in several columns, he said, expressing special gratitude to his wife for taking the initiative to compile those writings and publish the book.
The discussion featured in-depth overviews on the contents of the book, the historical context of Bangladesh's socio-political landscape, its evolving realities, and contemporary political and economic analysis.
