Let his soul return to his land
You are in deep, divine, eternal sleep. Above you the vast blue sky. Isn't this the sky that you wanted to conquer ? Passing over this sky you wanted to reach your dreamland-- Bangladesh. For the sake of the bond with the motherland, you severed all the bonds- your cherished fatherhood, your beloved family, your desired job- everything. Even did not think for a while of your valuable life. Being emotionally aroused by patriotism, you wanted to rush with a plane to your small country where the struggle for liberation had started. You just thought about the future not about the past. You sacrificed yourself for the next generation. The barbaric Pakistanis could not destroy your spirit.
Dear readers, our great hero Shahid Matiur's grave is still in Pakistan. It is our sacred duty to draw the attention of the government to bring back his mortal remains to Bangladesh. Our expatriate brothers and sisters have taken this noble initiative. Please go to the web side - www.bangladesh-association.com and sign up your name to lend support to their effort.
