Those who awarded him must have loved him. However, I have not read any of his books or heard his name."[9] Popular Fiction writer Selina Hossain commented, “Who is he? I don't know him."[9] Historian Muntassir Mamun expressed his frustration and said, “The bureaucrats and deputy secretaries of this country mainly select individuals for this award.
