The press wing of the Chief Adviser explained pressing the 'reset button'

Recently, Voice of America, the chief advisor of the interim government, Professor Dr. Some are misinterpreting the interview given by Muhammad Yunus.

He never talked about erasing the proud history of Bangladesh.

The statement also said, "It should be noted here that when someone presses the reset button on a device, he sets the software to restart the device." It does not change the hardware. 1971 Liberation War Bangladesh Hardware.

The statement said, Dr. After Yunus arrived in Dhaka to take charge as the chief adviser of the interim government on August 8, Hazrat Shahjalal told reporters at the airport that the people led the July-August coup. This is our second freedom. The first independence in 1971 was the country's glorious independence war.

According to the statement, in 1971, Professor Yunus was an assistant professor at Middle Tennessee State University in the United States. Soon after the declaration of independence of Bangladesh, he formed the Bangladesh Citizens Committee. He started a US-wide campaign to persuade the US government to recognize Bangladesh. He published the Bangladesh Newsletter to inform the world about the genocide committed by the Pakistani army in Bangladesh.

Rituparna's dream come true

বাহারি চুলের ফুটবলকন্যা মাঠে আরও রঙিন। তার বাঁ পায়ের ফুটবলশৈলীতে শুধুই ছড়ায় মুগ্ধতা। অসাধারণ ড্রিবলিংয়ের সঙ্গে চোখ ধাঁধানো ফ্রি কিক; ঋতুপর্ণা চাকমা যেন বাংলাদেশের নারী ফুটবলের পোস্টার গার্ল। অতটা আলোচনায় না এলেও মধ্যমাঠের শিল্পী হিসেবে বেশ সুনাম তাঁর। 

গতকাল কাঠমান্ডুতে নারী সাফের ফাইনালে নেপালের বিপক্ষে ৮১ মিনিটে যে গোলটি করেছিলেন তিনি, ধারাভাষ্যকাররা বলতে বাধ্য হয়েছেন ‘ওয়ান্ডারফুল’। গোল করার পর নিজের মুখে আঙুল দিয়ে ঋতুপর্ণা ভরা গ্যালারিকে চুপ থাকতে বলেছেন। তাঁর এই গোলেই দশরথের ১৬ হাজারের মতো দর্শক শুধুই চুপই হননি, বাংলাদেশের মেয়েরা যে গড়েছেন অনন্য কীর্তি। বড় কোনো ট্রফি জিতে ধরে রাখার কীর্তি ছেলেরাও পারেনি। সেটিই এবার করে দেখিয়েছেন সাবিনারা।

বুধবার টুর্নামেন্টের ফাইনালে নেপালকে ৩-১ গোলে হারিয়ে টানা দ্বিতীয় শিরোপা জেতা বাংলাদেশের এই সাফল্যের অন্যতম কারিগর তো রাঙামাটির কাউখালী উপজেলার মোগাছড়ি গ্রামের কন্যা ঋতুপর্ণা। টুর্নামেন্টের শুরু থেকে শেষ পর্যন্ত আপন আলোয় উজ্জ্বল থাকা এ মিডফিল্ডার করেছেন দুই গোল। তবে গোলের জন্য নয়, নজরকাড়া পারফরম্যান্স আর ম্যাচের মোড় ঘুরিয়ে দেওয়ার মতো বেশ কয়েকটি গল্প লেখায় এবারের আসরে সেরা ফুটবলারের পুরস্কারটি উঠেছে ঋতুপর্ণার হাতে।

পুরস্কার মঞ্চে দাঁড়িয়ে কথা বলার ভাষা হারিয়ে ফেলা এ প্লে-মেকার ভাসছেন স্বপ্নপূরণের উচ্ছ্বাসে, ‘এই মুহূর্তে খুবই ভালো লাগছে। আমি সত্যিই খুব আনন্দিত। এই স্বপ্ন সত্যি হওয়ার মতো। আমি আসলে ভাষায় প্রকাশ করতে পারছি না। আমরা দ্বিতীয়বারের মতো সাফ চ্যাম্পিয়ন হয়েছি। আমার পরিবার আমাকে অনেক সাপোর্ট করেছে। বাংলাদেশের মানুষের প্রতি কৃতজ্ঞতা জানাই। সমর্থকদের দোয়ায় আমরা দ্বিতীয়বার চ্যাম্পিয়ন হয়েছি।’

বাঁ প্রান্ত দিয়ে ঋতুপর্ণা যখন আক্রমণ শানান, তখন প্রতিপক্ষ হয়ে যায় এলেমেলো। ভুটানের বিপক্ষে সেমিফাইনালে ম্যাচের ৭ মিনিটে তাঁর বাঁ পায়ের বুলেটগতির শটই চলে যায় জালে। অথচ তার আগ পর্যন্ত গোল না পাওয়ার আক্ষেপ ছিল তাঁর কণ্ঠে। শেষ চারে সেই আক্ষেপ পূরণের পর ফাইনালে নেপালের বিপক্ষে করেছেন জয়সূচক গোল।

বড় ম্যাচের ফুটবলার হিসেবে নিজেকে প্রতিষ্ঠিত করা ঋতুপর্ণার জীবনে ২০২২ সালে নেমে এসেছিল আঁধার। ওই বছরের জুনে আদরের ছোট ভাই পার্বন চাকমার মৃত্যুটি তাঁর জন্য বড় আঘাত হয়ে এসেছিল। এরপর সিনিয়র সাফ জেতার সঙ্গে যত কিছুই অর্জন করেছেন, প্রতিবারই প্রিয় ভাই পার্বনকে মনে করেছিলেন। এবারও হয়তো টুর্নামেন্ট সেরার ট্রফিটা প্রয়াত ছোট ভাইকে উৎসর্গ করেছেন মধ্যমাঠের শিল্পী ঋতুপর্ণা চাকমা।




As Hurricane Milton approaches, Florida residents face life and death

Residents of the US state of Florida are rushing to complete emergency preparations. Someone has already left the house and gone to the shelter. Because, the dangerous cyclone Hurricane Milton is approaching there.

Hurricane Milton has become a powerful category 5 storm. Wind speeds at its center are 165 miles per hour or 270 kilometers per hour. The hurricane is expected to hit Florida at full strength on Wednesday night. Just two weeks after Hurricane Helen's devastation, the state was hit by another disaster.

Bradenton resident Gerald Lemus said, 'Five magnitudes mean you have a giant tornado coming your way.' Lemus is currently staying at a shelter. He said, 'I don't want to stay here. Wherever it hits, it's going to be a life-shattering storm.'

Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden yesterday warned Florida residents to leave their homes and go to safe places. Because, it is a matter of 'life and death'. The local administration has already taken the initiative to evacuate the common people from their homes.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said yesterday that dozens of shelters have been prepared in Florida. These shelters have been prepared in safe areas to save local residents from the effects of this monstrous cyclone.

Long lines were seen at gas stations in South Florida. Many stations have already run out of fuel. In this regard, Governor DeSantis said that gasoline is being supplied to the stations to carry out uninterrupted removal operations. Charging stations are installed along the road.

Meanwhile, the White House canceled Biden's trip to Germany and Angola to monitor preparations for Hurricane Milton and ongoing efforts to recover from the damage caused by Helen. Yesterday at the White House, he said, this is going to be the worst hurricane in Florida in the last century. "Evacuate the area now, now, now," he told Florida residents.

Less than two weeks ago, Hurricane Helen ravaged the southeastern United States. It was the deadliest hurricane to hit the mainland since Katrina in 2005. At least 225 people have died. Among them, 14 people died in Florida. Hundreds of people are still missing.

ML Ferguson is struggling to repair his house in Anna Maria, Florida. Her house was badly damaged by Hurricane Helen last month. Ferguson said, 'Hurricane Milton's impact could be much worse than Helen's. My car is beyond repair. We have been laid off. My belongings were also destroyed. I will literally be homeless after this cyclone.'

The National Hurricane Center warned to be prepared to deal with strong winds. Much of the debris left on the road by Hurricane Helen can become airborne and pose a hazard.

The storm is expected to dump up to 15 inches or 38 centimeters of rain in Florida. And there is a risk of 10 to 15 feet high tide in coastal areas.

Counties began issuing removal orders Monday. Tolls have been suspended on roads in West and Central Florida. Schools have been declared closed in many counties since yesterday. Airports in Tampa and Orlando have been suspended until the storm is over.




Babar has no fifty in Tests for 651 days, when will the misery end?

Babar Azam seems to have forgotten to raise the bat in Test cricket! This is not unusual. In December 2022, he played the last fifty-run innings in white-clothes cricket. After that, time did not decrease. 651 days as days.

The chance came against England yesterday. Couldn't use that opportunity either. In Multan's batting-paradise, Chris Woakes was dismissed for 30 at the very end of the day.

Babar's last fifty-run innings was against New Zealand in December 2022. Scored 161 runs in Karachi. What happened next! After that innings, Babar played 17 innings in this edition.

Where his highest innings was 41 runs, in the tour of Australia. Babar averaged only 21.23 in these 17 innings. Babar has never raised his bat for such a long time in his Test career. Before that, he did not get a fifty in 7 consecutive innings between November and January 2016. Where 7 innings, where 17!

Babar, suffering from a drought of fifty, however, got off to a good start in most of the matches during this bad period. Babar scored more than 20 runs in 12 of these 17 innings. That means he is getting the start. But you can't hold it. But despite such a bad time, Babar averaged 44.35 in Tests. Before this bad period, Babar averaged around 50 in Tests.

Any batsman of Babar's current average can actually be called good without hesitation. And the main reason for his good average is the period from 2019 to 2022.
Babar averaged around 60 in Tests from early 2019 to December 2022. Babar averaged over 50 in Australia during this period—52.50.

Babar batted at an average of 48 in England-West Indies, around 70 on the soil of Sri Lanka and 75 on the soil of the country. Babar's great performances at this time led to comparisons with Virat Kohli and Joe Root. But now it seems that the comparison will not come again!

Babar will get more opportunities in the England series to return to form. The next Test of the three-match Test series is also in Multan, the last Test in Rawalpindi. In other words, in the next two Tests, Babar will bat in batting heaven. The opportunity is only if you can!




Once a cheater, always a cheater, pointed out Tama

Many may remember the conflict between filmmaker Raihan Rafi and actress Dighi. Both have talked about each other. Before the year passed, the two were seen together. Dighi rushed to see the web film 'Maya' directed by Rafi. The question in the mind of many people is that Rafi and Dighi's conflict has been resolved?

The conflict between Rafi and Dighi was much talked about then. Dighi posted a status on Facebook referring to Tama Mirza, the heroine of the director's movie 'Suranga'. Wrote, he has become very sick after falling under the grip of the syndicate of the industry for three years. He has also been a victim of the dirty politics of the industry at various times. And Rafi chose to take him in a movie and left him out. Rejecting this complaint of actress Dighi at that time, the 'Toofan' famous producer said, 'Dighi herself has expressed interest in working with me. Talked to me about this, came to my office. That does not mean that he is finalised.'




It is possible to fulfill that wish if within the capacity…

'Toofan' releases on Eid-ul-Azha in Shakib Khan theatres. There was a lot of audience interest in the Shakib Khan starrer film at home and abroad. He is starting the shooting of the film 'Barbad' in the middle of this month. Before that, this Dhallywood star gave good news to the fans of the country and abroad. He said in a Facebook post that 'Dard' is being released. The film, directed by Ananya Mamun, has already received clearance from the Censor Certification Board members. A photo collage of several looks from the evening was posted from Shakib Khan's verified Facebook page. The caption read, 'She comes with “painful” love….'

Actress Deepa Khandkar posted this still on her Facebook and wrote, 'I am the source of my happiness.'”

Actor Siam Ahmed has completed shooting for his latest film 'Jungli'. The film was supposed to be released on Eid-ul-Azha, but it was not released as the shooting could not be completed. There is no news of shooting in any new film, but he has given news of work in commercials. The star posted this still today and captioned it simply, 'Again….'

Actor couple Musharraf Karim and Robena Reza Jui have been married for two decades. Posting this picture of the two today, he wrote, 'Passing the path of life together through two eras. And two decades of married life. Walking together has now become a habit. And people are slaves to habits. Happy 20th wedding anniversary Musharraf.'

Actress Tahmina Sultana Mou wrote, 'There is no end to what people want in life.... We tend to forget how much our limit is. It is possible to fulfill that wish if it is within the capacity, but it is not possible to do anything beyond that.'




Raid at Ghulam Dastgir Gazi's residence to arrest accused and recover weapons: DB

সাবেক বস্ত্র ও পাটমন্ত্রী গোলাম দস্তগীর গাজীর বাসায় অভিযান পরিচালনা করেছে ঢাকা মহানগর গোয়েন্দা পুলিশ (ডিবি)। রোববার রাত ২টার দিকে রাজধানীর সিদ্ধেশ্বরীর গাজীর বাসায় এই অভিযান পরিচালনা করা হয়।

এ ব্যাপারে ডিএমপির অতিরিক্ত কমিশনার (ডিবি) রেজাউল করিম মল্লিক রোববার রাতে সমকালকে বলেন, অভিযান সম্পর্কে বিভ্রান্তির কোনো অবকাশ নেই। ডিবি পেশাদারিত্বের সঙ্গে কাজ করে যাচ্ছে। অস্ত্র উদ্ধার ও আসামি গ্রেপ্তারের জন্য ওই বাড়িতে অভিযান চালানো হয়। সেখানে কাউকে পাওয়া যায়নি।

ডিবি প্রধান আরও বলেন, অভিযানের সময় গাজীর বাসা থেকে কোনো ধরনের মালপত্র নিয়ে আসা হয়নি।

রেজাউল করিম মল্লিক আরও বলেন, গোলাম দস্তগীর গাজীর স্ত্রী হাসিনা গাজীর কাছে অবৈধ অস্ত্র আছে। সেই অস্ত্র বৈষম্যবিরোধী ছাত্র আন্দোলন দমনে ব্যবহার করা হয়। গাজীর স্ত্রীর বিরুদ্ধে একাধিক হত্যা মামলা রয়েছে। মূলত তাকে গ্রেপ্তারেই ওই বাসায় অভিযান পরিচালনা করা হয়। আমাদের কাছে তথ্য ছিল, গাজীর স্ত্রী ওই বাসাতেই আছেন।

এদিকে ঢাকা মেট্রোপলিটন পুলিশের মিডিয়া অ্যান্ড পাবলিক রিলেশন্স বিভাগের উপ-কমিশনার মুহাম্মদ তালেবুর রহমান স্বাক্ষরিত এক সংবাদ বিজ্ঞপ্তিতে জানানো হয়, ডিবির নিয়মিত অভিযানের অংশ হিসেবে একটি টিম আইন ও বিধি অনুসরণ করে গোলাম দস্তগীরের বাসায় তল্লাশি চালায়। পুলিশের উপস্থিতি টের পেয়ে বাসার দারোয়ান পালিয়ে যান। পরবর্তীতে স্থানীয় থানা পুলিশের সহায়তায় সেই বাসায় তল্লাশি অভিযান সমাপ্ত করে ডিবির টিম ঘটনাস্থল ত্যাগ করে।

সুনির্দিষ্ট তথ্যের ভিত্তিতে এজাহারনামীয় আসামি গ্রেপ্তার ও অবৈধ অস্ত্র উদ্ধারের অংশ হিসেবে সেখানে তল্লাশি অভিযান পরিচালনা করা হয়। ডিবির তল্লাশি অভিযান সম্পর্কে কোনো রকম বিভ্রান্তির সুযোগ নেই বলে সংবাদ বিজ্ঞপ্তিতে জানানো
