Recent GA, meets article requirements. No QPQ required. However, I am going to have to decline that hook. Essentially, it says "Tajuddin Ahmad was the first Prime Minister of Bangladesh". This is a 44kB article, so I am confident there are more interesting facts in there. Could a few alternative hooks be suggested, along with their supporting sources?
