Actor Joy recently shared a nostalgic tribute on social media, featuring a photograph of his late father alongside the current Speaker of the House. In his post, Joy recalled that his father served as the chief engineer for the Bangladesh Agricultural Development Corporation (BADC). During that time, the man who is now the Speaker held the position of Minister of Environment and Forest.
Reflecting on their professional history, Joy noted that the two men once traveled together for a two-week official visit to London and the Netherlands. During this period, his father was the sole companion accompanying the minister on his tour. Joy shared that his father often spoke highly of the minister throughout that trip. Six years have passed since his father’s death, and Joy remarked on how the former minister has since ascended to the significant role of Speaker.
The actor contemplated whether the high-ranking official remembers his father from that brief European tour, noting that while it is not essential for the Speaker to recall him, he values the memory. He acknowledged that while prominent public figures encounter many people throughout their careers, the younger generation often holds onto such personal recollections. Joy explicitly clarified that his message was intended solely as a personal reflection on his father and should not be interpreted as a political statement.
Following the post, followers flooded the comments section with various reactions. While many appreciated the tribute, others left cryptic remarks regarding land, with one user writing, “Land is guaranteed now,” and another asking, “How many kathas of land do you need, brother?” Joy did not provide any further context or explanation regarding why his followers associated the post with land ownership, keeping his focus strictly on the memory of his late father and his reflections on the Speaker’s distinguished career path.
