Keep up the good work

Let me congratulate you on your valuable editorials which I read with all seriousness and delight. Please keep it up and be bolder when you feel that it is necessary to admonish any organisation which acts against the interest of the country.

Ours is not a poor country in resources, it does not have to be oil rich to be rich. We have fertile lands, huge human resource, have plenty of water and plenty of rain every year (we need not be dependent on others for food and water). What we lack is our unflinching sense of love for our country and its independence, whatever we say every year in the month of December. Let us look forward as we cannot change the bygone. Let us march forward and in this respect, it is the media which may mould positive thinking and positive strength among the people to march forward.

Funny, that a foreign Ambassador, speaking as chief guest at a meeting in Dhaka, had to point out that that we do not know what resources we have.

Looking forward to your bold and positive writings dedicated only, repeat only, to the best interest of the country -- for the welfare of all the sons of the soil -- Muslims, Hindus, Christians and Buddhists -- who live within this country, Bangladesh.
