Dr Asif Nazrul, Advisor on Law, Justice, and Parliamentary Affairs expressed his gratitude towards his wife by saying, "The fact that I could write again after 15 years is because of my wife. I am deeply grateful to her."
On Saturday evening (14 December), he made this statement during a discussion event about his novel 'Ami Abu Bakar' held at the National Museum auditorium in Dhaka.
Asif Nazrul said, "Sometimes when I feel down, I shared with my wife, "Will there ever be a time in my life when I won't have to do anything? No worries at all? I'll just sleep and write.' My wife always replies, 'Of course, that time will come. I'll set up a coffee shop for you, and you'll just write and write.'"
He added, "There was a 15-year gap in my writing. The fact that I could write again after 15 years is entirely because of her. I'm publicly saying this – thank you."
Referring to his disdain for Awami League's politics, the law advisor remarked, "Over the past 15 years, we've endured a nightmarish rule. I don't know what sin we committed to having a ruler like Sheikh Hasina in our country. She has destroyed all our social bonds. We despised the Awami League's politics of tagging and victimizing people, and we still do."
