Congratulations!
Congratulations to you for your bold commentaries published in DS of the 17th and 21 October 2005. In response to your comment "Answer lies in the mirror and not media" I would like to remind you of our school days when we read a story of a wretched and cruel woman who would look into her magical mirror on the wall of her house and ask "Mirror, Mirror on the wall who is the fairest lady of all? "The answer inevitably was always the same "YOU, My Lady, the fairest of all." Not only the main political parties but also even those smaller parties would get the same answer from their Mirror and for those who don't have a Mirror, the sycophants will give the same answers.
Now I request you to look into your Mirror and ask where lies the solution to the citizens' demand for their basic requirements of life and security in an INDEPENDENT BANGLADESH. Please do share with us the answer
You get from the Mirror in your wall. The Daily Star does write boldly in a balanced manner against the political system, policy and procedures but it is a "Surprise of all Surprises" that that the elected members of the parties, in power and in opposition, are getting rich while the citizens voting for them continue to receive only promises of a better future and find it difficult to cope with the challenges of a reasonably good life.
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. It's time for the media to ponder over the issue seriously.
