Widespread criticism erupted following the protocol-violating conduct of Divisional Commissioner Yusuf Ali during Prime Minister Tarique Rahman's departure at Rajshahi's Shah Makhdum Airport on Tuesday, which ultimately led to his withdrawal.
In the wake of this incident, questions have been raised regarding the state protocol and professional etiquette of government officials. Former secretary AKM Abdul Awal Majumdar has attributed this administrative decline to substandard training, political affiliations, and the absence of merit-based promotions and postings.
Experts note that such incidents clearly point to a broader deficit in the practice of proper statecraft and institutional manners. To address this crisis, heightened emphasis has been placed on increasing practical exercises during official training programs and strengthening administrative accountability.
