We need another name

We call those who collaborated with the Pakistanis Dalal, Rajakar, Al-Badar, Al-Shams etc. Calling someone by these names is equivalent to calling someone by an offensive name. I think it's about time we found a nasty name to call those remnants from the partition-of-India era elements who still dream of living in a bigger country.

We also need a sister organisation of Ghatok Dalal Nirmul Committee to shame those who are ashamed of their Islamic root. How about "Deshpremheen-bornochora-atelder-mukhosh-oonmochon-committee"?

Well, looks like we desperately need to organise a nomenclature competition (first prize is Tagore's Geetanjali with English translation) to find an appropriate name.

By the way, I dare to say all these because I know no one would be able to brand me as an "anti-liberation force" - after all I am supersaturated with Bangla culture.
