It seems embarrassing to imagine that a gulf of difference appears just before our very eyes between our works and words. We stringently promise to keep our prestigious Victory Day alive and fresh and expect to keep our culture prevalent all over the country. I want to illustrate it citing an instance from my own experience while observing the Victory Day celebrations at certain places. While speaking on the stage, the bigwigs talk pretentiously but motivate the others to adopt foreign culture, songs, ceremonial cult and exotic fashions, Some performers entertained the spectators unexpectedly by exposing themselves in an abysmal way. The untidy women commercially perform on the stage. They create a suffocating situation in the concert for the elegant and elderly spectators.

I cannot ventilate my feelings in words so flatly. I think the vicious culture leads the new generation to destruction and push them towards obnoxious practices throughout the country.
