The article in your daily titled 'Character assassination: who is next?' published on 22/06/06 is a timely endeavour to arouse the conscience of the members of the civil society against this sort of abominable activities by a section of the so-called intellectuals.

I fully agree with Dr. Moazzem Hossain that these degenerated intellectuals have polluted the campus atmosphere everywhere in the country through vilification of the honest and dedicated members of the enlightened society. I am particularly talking about Prof. Dr. M. Asaduzzaman, the Chairman of the University Grants Commission of Bangladesh. I have been working with him for more than three years. My close association with him during this period is a pleasant experience which I shall fondly cherish forever. To me, he has always appeared to be a positivist doing good to others and feeling good about people around him.
