Congratulations!

It's indeed great to see that The Daily Star has been relentlessly reporting the day-to-day news in the country as well the outside world without fear or favour, which is the foremost requisite for any standard daily.

The Daily Star is unique in many areas: it covers the diverse fields of interests apart from its national and international news, upholds the national heritage, provides a vast canvas for sports, literature etc. And most importantly it has pages for the upcoming generation -- the future of this country-- that do inspire them in all possible ways. It keeps the readers up-to-date every morning about the happenings in the country and outside the country as well, its political features are unique in their texture and meaning/essence.

Today, it has reached the zenith of English language journalism in the country through its upholding of the journalistic ethics: Journalism without fear or favour with an indomitable desire to protect the readers' " Right to Know"!

The mega-presentation on its anniversary issue is simply outstanding and I strongly hope it will be keeping up its versatile spirit in the days to come with the same vigour and professionalism.

I hope it will also take note of the point that it can gradually look forward to upgrading its paper quality to a better one, though the present one is also very good.

Long live The Daily Star! Eid Mubarak!
