My last and final Official trip with Syed Ashraful Islam MP, General Secretary of the Awami League, Public Administration Minister. Syed Ashraful Islam MP, Public Administration Minister trip to Sylhet in 2016 attending Sunamganj Awami League conference and that delegation was most large delegation according to my knowledge. There is a remour that Farasat Ali, Chairman of the NRBC Bank organised the cost of such a trip including arrengenment halicipter from and return to Sylhet from Sunamganj. I was contacted by Syed Ashraful Islam MP APS Shaheed which I must be part of such a delegation to Sylhet but I told Shaheed that my health condition was not good and I don't feel like going to Sylhet on that occasion. The day before the trip to Sylhet most of my willwisher came to know I was going to Sylhet with Syed Ashraful Islam MP, Awami League General Secretary and getting calls from London and Sylhet none stop where I explain to everyone that I have told them not going to Sylhet that occasions. All my friends are willwisher wanted me to be part of such a delegation but my reply was I have already told Ashraf Bhai APS not going and my ticket was cancelled. However, Mintoo from Jagonnathpur Awami League requested me to go with Ashraf Bhai and he is going to provide me the ticket for the trip which point I agree with Mintu and he took responsibility for my ticket, I was staying in the Uttara sector 11 that occasion weak up early morning having difficult to find CNG but took a Rishkhaw to sector 1 and started walking from there to the Shahjalal Airport and my mobile phone was in my trouser pocket silent where over 12 called came from both Ashraf Bhai APS Shaheed and PO Syed Tafajul Hussain, Ashraf Bhai's Personal Officer. I came to the demistic part of the airport at the ticket counter and took out my phone from my pocket and saw over 12 called Syed Tafajul Hussain Ashraf Bhai's PO and he told me that they didn't find my name on the Biman system. I approached the Biman counter and they didn't find my name there either, so I called Mintu in Sylhet and told him where my ticket was and he did not provide me with a PNR number either by text messages or email. I have given 10 minutes to provide me the PNR number or I am going back to Uttara sector 11 back to my flat. Therefore, after 2-3 minutes time Mintu provide me the PNR number and my name spelling was wrong but Biman gave me a boarding pass and went to the demistic VIP lounge where full of people in that room some people seating on chairs and Sofa and rest of other was standing including Ashraf Bhai two cousins plus his personal staffs. I started shaking hands with everyone except the NRBC Bank Chairman and sitting on the chair left empty next to Ashraf Bhai and Ashraf Bhai gave his hand towards me and I gave my hand shaking-hands with Ashraf Bhai. Ashraf Bhai talks less but does things using his brain mostly instead of telling people what to do and what not to do. However, slowly everyone starts getting into the car going to the Airplane ( Biman) and I did the same as well after going into the Biman I was looking for my seat where Shaheed, Ashraf Bhai APS approached me asking me what I was doing but I told him look for my seat but Shaheed told me that go front at the business class where lots of seat empty and to set behind Ashraf Bhai seat, so I cross Misba Uddin Sheraj, Amawi Organisin Secretary who was seating 3 seat behind Ashraf Bhai seating and after I seat behind Ashraf Bhai there was one other seat was empty which I called Misba Bhai to come front and seat near me but Misba Bhai was relatent to come near me but I told Misba Bhai that don't worry about it which Ashraf Bhai not going to mind and Misba Bhai came to seat near me, where started talk to Misba Bhai about one individual person activities and relationship with UK BNP leader and Misba Bhai ask me that who could be possible candidate for the Secretary of Sunamganj District Awami League and I mentioned few individuals name including Barrister Emon and thought my job was done which may not find opportunity talk to Ashraf Bhai about it once reach Sylhet airport and Circuit House. The Biman landed at the Sylhet airport and opened the gate where APS Shaheed allowed Ashraf Bhai to leave the Biman and Misba Uddin Sheraj Bhai and myself and hold one of the NRBC Bank director who was seating next to Ashraf Bhai and Chairman of NRBC Bank and rest of other people for over 5-7 minutes after we left the Biman! Were greeted by some of Sylhet Awami League leaders and my willwisher at the Sylhet Airport.
