In memory of Captain Basher
I wholeheartedly appreciate the initiative of building the memorial. But, according to my layman view, establishing a 'memorial public library' would be more coherent and apposite than to building a gate spending more than Tk. half a million. In support of my stand, I have some arguments.
Establishing a library tantamount to establishing a hospital for soul. Besides bearing the reminiscences of the martyr, it will go on enlightening and healing the souls of the people of that area. Thus it would be a boon and a bonanza for those seeking moral tranquillity in these days of degradation. It would also be in concert with the mission of Shaheed Bashar's honourable father who was a noted headmaster of Nilphamary High School.
To the contrary, spending such a huge amount from the public exchequer to build a gate might not result into a far-reaching output for the nation.
