Friends of Bangladesh

We are heartened at the proposals put forward by the 'Ghatok Dalal Nirmul Committee' who requested the Mayor of DNCC to name certain roads of diplomatic zones after friends of Bangladesh who went out of their way to help us during our liberation war. Among them, Mrs. Indira Gandhi's name comes to mind at once.  The Mayor has reportedly accepted the proposals.
The road connecting the Gulshan Two circle with Baridhara may be named after Mrs. Indira Gandhi. Other roads should also be named after Senator Edward Kennedy, Gen. Jacob, Gen. Jagjit Singh Aurora, Field Marshal SAM Manekshaw and a few PVC recipients during the 1971 war, and Soviet Union leader Brezhnev.
The country and all our people ought to show gratitude and remember these friends who came to our aid during times of need.
