Being highly emotionally, aroused by patriotism, you wanted to rush with a plane to your country where the struggle for liberation was going on. You just thought about the future not about the past. You sacrificed yourself for the next generation. You had not reached your own land, before the Pakistanis destroyed your plane. But do you know that those barbaric Pakistanis were be able to destroy your body only, not your spirit and love. Your love and inspiration transcended the borders of Pakistan and sparked the flame of patriotism all over Bangladesh. Today we are independent. Every year we observe our victory with pomp and grandeur. Our generation with their elders shower flowers on the grave of the martyrs, recall their contribution and pray to God for their salvation. But alas! You, who are among the seven most excellent heroes, are deprived of our respect. We cannot put an epitaph on your tomb; we cannot take oath for building our country touching your grave, because you are lying far away from us. The country against which you fought has become your final resting-place.

More than 30 years have passed since Liberation, but no one could arrange for the return of your body to your Motherland. How insulting it is for us and for our spirit of freedom! Being a daughter of a freedom fighter I am seeking forgiveness from my heart to you for this gross injustice. I promise that what our predecessors couldn't do will be accomplished by us. We shall continue to fight for your due respect until we succeed to make you return to your country.

Dear readers, our great hero Shaheed Matiour's is buried in Pakistan. It is our sacred duty to draw the attention of the government to bring back this hero's remains to Bangladesh. Our expatriate brothers and sisters have taken this commendable initiative.
