Former Justice Shamsuddin Chowdhury Manik participated as a discussant in a talk show organized on a television channel recently on the quota movement issue. But at one stage of the discussion, he lost his temper and got angry with the moderator Deepti Chowdhury. During the entire event, he expressed his anger at the presenter several times. Not only that, he called the presenter a 'Razakar's kid' before leaving the studio after the show. The video of the incident went viral on social media.
In the video, before leaving the venue after the discussion, Justice Manik said, 'He is Razakar's kid.' In immediate protest, moderator Deepti said, 'You have no right to call me Razakar's kid.' I am a child of a freedom fighter family.' Then Justice Manik said, 'Of course. A hundred times right. You are Razakar's child.'
Host Deepti said, 'I am a child of a freedom fighter family. How dare you call me Razakar's child?' Then Justice Manik said, 'I said seeing your behavior. You are Razakar's child.'
Later the conductor kept shouting, 'I am a child of a freedom fighter family. I am a child of a freedom fighter family. I am a child of a freedom fighter family.
Then Justice Manik also said, 'Why are you a child of a freedom fighter family? You are the son of Razakar.' Then the other speaker of the program Golam Mawla Roni was seen requesting Justice Manik to be removed from the venue.
Since the airing of the talk show, the use of Justice Manik has been criticized on social media. In the meantime, when the video of Bagbitanda after the show spread again on social media, the criticism reached its peak. Netizens praised Justice Manik's criticism as well as moderator Deepti Chowdhury's patience.
