Martyr Matiur's remains
Farida S, On e-mail
I draw your attention to the report on "Family hopes for state honour for martyr Matiur's remains", by your staff correspondent on Sunday April 9, 2006It is indeed a move in the right direction, that the future generation of the country should learn to respect and honour the national hero. And to be able to do so, the memorial plaque for such national hero should be located in such an area that everyone is able go and pay his/her tribute to him. By such acts of reverence, we learn to respect , and earn the respect of others for our motherland, Bangladesh. However, the appeal to resurrect the mortal remains of the martyr is now being made by none other than the "wife", shown in the picture on page 2 of your newspaper. It is now over three decades that such a realisation and the family's hope for state honour to the hero's remains is being announced. Would it then be not more befitting that this same appeal is made by a conscious citizen of the country? And as your newspaper has given the subject a front page coverage, it follows that it is an important subject and deserves serious consideration.
