Mon 27 Nov 2006 The election commission in Bangladesh set 21 January 2007 as the date for the next general elections. Advisors Mahbubul Alam, D K Nath and Sultana Kamal admitted to the reporters that they had no idea that election details were announced by the EC. Yasmeen Morshed said she most definitely knew that it was coming. To paraphrase her words “we are in the govt, of course we knew….what we do or don’t know need NOT be shared all the time”.
Wed, 29 Nov 2006 UN Secretary General's Special Envoy Craig Jennes yesterday gave a clarion call to the country's leadership for holding dialogue among political parties to resolve the current impasse and create an atmosphere for free, neutral and peaceful elections. The UN Special Envoy met with BNP Adviser to the Caretaker Prof Yasmeen Morshed.
The following comments were posted in a blog in Yasmeen Morsheds favor.
Nazim Farhan Choudhury I am a Scholastican. I am also the Secretary General of the Scholastica Alumni Assosiation. I’ve known Mrs Yasmeen Murshed since class 5 (last 22 years!) She is not only intellegent but also is broadminded. She is well read, and articulate in the politics, government, and international affairs. Her thoughts on Islam are particularly progressive. Her command over the issues of education and Human resource development is next to none. And most of all she is a patriot.I know she will be impartial and the voice of reason in the CTG. I think she is one of the best choices on that list.
Fariha Says: .Mrs.Yasmeen Murshed, despite her allegiance to BNP is a good choice. And I think they should put her in charge of both Finance and Planning, and the Home Ministry. From experience, i can vouch for her efficiency and effectiveness in minding money matters and ensuring law and order.Before anybody questions her competence, please bear in mind that she single-handedly ( by that I mean without a husband, boyfriend, political background or a whole lot of financial support) created Scholastica (school, etc, ohs..the whole corporate giant) in less than 25 years. If anyone knows how to manage money or people,its her. She is also the most well-spoken, articulate woman i know. And far far far more progressive and liberal than some controversial ‘feminists’ we’ve been arguing over.just sharing some thoughts. Mrs.Murshed, the chairperson of the school I attended, is someone I looked upto all my life. Here’s a chance for the rest of Bangladesh to do the same. She is an amazing leader. in case anybody needs more proof…Mrs. Yasmeen Murshed has two graduate degrees and two post-graduate degrees. Her disciplines where English Literature and Economics.
