According to the Ministry's official website — which, as we all know, never lies — Sports Adviser  Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuyain was born on July 14, 1999. In other words, in just a few days, the young gentleman will grace us by turning 26. Now, here’s where the magic begins.

 

Bangladesh's firearm laws clearly state that to obtain a personal gun license, one must be at least 30 years old. But Asif Mahmud, it appears, doesn’t live by the rules of mere mortals. Somehow, against all logic and legality, he already has a firearm — and not just any firearm, but one he publicly carries with full confidence.

 

Naturally, the people are curious. What kind of weapon is this? Where did he buy it? Who paid for it? Or better yet — did the gun materialize out of thin air as a “gift” from his political fairy godmothers?

 

And the plot thickens.

 

The government — in a grand show of law and order — recently ordered all licensed firearms across the country to be surrendered. Ministers, deputy speakers, advisers — even those who received “special exemptions” for age limits — were told to hand over their guns. Because, of course, public safety comes first… at least on paper.

 

But wait — Asif Mahmud still has his weapon. How delightful.

 

Is he above the law? Is there a hidden VIP clause that lets young political prodigies bypass the rules? Or perhaps, in the secret corridors of power, there exists a parallel version of the constitution — where age, qualifications, and laws only apply to the common man, not to the privileged inner circle.

 

This isn’t just about one young adviser and his gun. It’s about how the country is run on double standards so blatant, they hardly even bother to hide it anymore.

 

Because when you're part of the ruling club, the rules bend, licenses appear, and firearms mysteriously land in your lap — all before your 26th birthday.

 

Happy birthday in advance, Asif Mahmud. Apparently, when you're close to power, the real gift is immunity.
