"Allah Hafez"
When I go through the messages on special occasions (for examples national days, celebrations, convocations etc), I discover that only the President & Prime Minister's messages contain the above term (wish) in the conclusion and it is different in the cases of government ministers, opposition leader and others. BTV newscasters also use the above term.
Previously, we were used to "Khoda Hafez" in the conclusion and to me it sounds more universal than Allah Hafez. During President Ershad's regime we had to swallow "First Lady Begum Rowshan Ershad." My question is, how long will we continue to swallow the different ideological terms of different regimes at their free will, which have no special significance or value?
