Letters to Editor
 
Disarming Hezbollah
Israel issue
President Bush made his position clear on the latest Israeli offensive against Hezbollah, accusing Lebanon of not disarming Hezbollah.
 
Who are the extremists?
Muslims are the people who fight for their religion. This is the image that the westerns have created.
 
Magic book
Mr. David Brown was an ordinary author but Vinci Code, his much talked about novel, made him famous overnight. It is an amazing book full of suspense, thrill, mystery and great finishing.
 
Shahrukh Khan
Very recently, several Indian movie channels broadcast a few trailers of the upcoming movie "DON", featuring one of the greatest actors of the current Indian film industry and the heartthrob of 'billions',
 
Football artist
Legendary footballer Zidan made an unlawful mess at the end of the final game. No excuse is enough to defend him. He was sent off but he is still the hero of France.
 
Banking facilities in rural areas
Banking facilities in rural areas are needed for eradicating poverty and for making people more solvent. It is usually seen that there are very few commercial bank branches in rural areas.
 
Politics of Tata investment
I liked the article "Govt says wait but Tata pushes on", as it brought out the true reason for not finalising the Tata investment by the present government.
 
Public figures and criticism
Mr. Mahmudur Rahman's actions and disrespectful comments about Dr Bhattacharya bring into question his role as our nation's representative to the foreign investors.
 
The trial of Colonel Abu Taher
My kudos to The Daily Star for publishing this report written by Lawrence Lifschultz.
 
Terror speech!
Recently the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Rajnath Singh appealed to the Indian government to attack Bangladesh for "giving shelter to alleged militants" who are crossing over to our side
 
Supporting enemies
It is funny how people bring up religion in everything.
 
State offices
Thanks for the report on use of state offices for political purpose. The immediate government response was as usual, there is nothing wrong in it. They are just following the AL political culture.
 
Spreading hatred
Over the past month, conflicts in the Middle East have revealed a lot of Bangladeshi hatred for Israel and the United States. Just look at the letters page each day.
 
BoI chief
I am absolutely disgusted to read that Mahmudur Rahman is taking members of CPD to court over alleged defamation comments. Mr. Rahman accuses that CPD tarnished his image and the image of the country.
 
Brutal assault
Recently, a barbaric incident took place at Patharghata, Chittagong, between Mr. Sydney Thomas Robertson and his landlord's sons who assaulted Mr.
 
SMEs beyond Dhaka
Small and medium enterprises are the most vibrant and dynamic factor nowadays for the overall development of a country like Bangladesh. SMEs account for 90% of industrial structure and 25% of theGDP.
 
Dean Jones
It's indeed sad that Dean Jones, the former Australia Test batsman turned TV commentator, was immoderate when he called Hashim Amla a terrorist while he took the catch to dismiss Kumar Sangakkara.
 
Prayer and education
My mother was suddenly diagnosed with severe heart problems and told she would not live more than a few months, and on hearing this I returned to Bangladesh hurriedly on a few days' notice in 1968.
 
Who is a terrorist?
Terrorists mean the people whose activities are against the interest of general people as well as the whole nation.
