Role of DS


It's needless to speak about the great role of The Daily Star in nation building and in shaping up democracy in Bangladesh. But I would like to make my point on a different subject here. I would strongly request you not to publish senseless comments of our immature political leaders. These comments not only make us feel ashamed of our incompetent leaders, but they also hurt the image of our country. I often read such comments from our so called leaders against each other on any event. The recent comments of SQ Chowdhury on OIC failure, comments of the mayor of Chittagong on the arms haul etc. are some of the examples of how the politicians speak. The top leaders and other lawmakers are known to have made such comments several times in the past. Publishing such comments does not do any good for the country, rather the politicians use the press as their loud speaker. Please don't help them to promote their ugly politics through the media. I would request the DS to ignore such baseless, immature remarks.
