Rule with justice
Ibrahim Khaled's suggestion that only martial law can ensure trial of alleged stocks offenders is substantiated by the government's denial to publish the report immediately. I think he spoke his mind throwing away caution. It is natural that it ruffles a few feathers at the helm. It is usual that the rich and the unjust will always oppose the justice. Why don't you debunk Khaled's suggestion by punishing the culprit immediately without terming his suggestion seditious? Corruption in all sectors has taken away people's prestige and protection. I think the government should follow Hazrat Ali's suggestion of good gov-ernance-'one's administration will succeed only if he governs with concern for justice, equity, probity and the prosperity of all.' Only then we will be out of a quagmire of being a banana republic.

Humiliating Bauls
Your editorial page write-up on the matter, on 13th.April as the outcome of some half-baked (or raw, for that matter) and definitely illiterate cleric of Pangsha, needs to be trimmed to size, and slowly baked in solitary confinement (if possible, perpetually) in a prison for his criminal instigation that led to the humiliation of Bauls. These ignorant and illiterate clerics are ignoring the fundamental teachings of Islam, which insists on tolerance and acceptance of all people of all faith. These clerics are criminals according to the norms of Islam. They are public enemies to society and religion and its free practices. They deserve harsh punishment for encouraging such criminal acts. We the readers will appreciate if you kindly follow up on the matter to report on what action has been taken on the cleric (raw or half-baked) and his followers for their unlawful activities.

DU students on rampage Student vandalism on the Panthopath reported in all Bangladeshi dailies over violation of traffic rules by the bus driver which was carrying the DU students, is a case of serious disregard to traffic law by the students. Disregard to law of the land by the students and taking law in their hands are totally unacceptable in all norms. Our future leaders should not learn making and breaking laws of their own whatever situation may be on the ground. We ask remedies of all social problems from the government. Teachers, parents and leaders should come forward to remove this social disease together. Teachers and parents should implant family values to their wards and the government should handle the vandalism with iron hand.

The other day the director of the film Rubaiyat Hussain while speaking on BBC TV about this film said that the story of a love affair between a Pakistani soldier and a Bengali girl shown in the film was her perspective as a woman of the terrible times that the Bengalis were going through then.
But unfortunately, the story did not click with the general public, because it was not at all plausible at that time. There was so much sufferings among the peoplewide spread killing, torture, rape, that were taking place all around that it was quite unthinkable that a Pakistani soldier would fall in love with a Bengali girl in such circumstances or vice versa. In fact, nobody heard of such an incident occurring during the Liberation War! It is more like a film made by a Pakistani from his own perspective!

RAB and Liton
The maiming of Liton by RAB, which is a manifestation of brutality in a civil society! First they called Liton as a violent member of an armed gang; and now they say that he is an incidental victim of their free for all shooting; allegedly in self defence! Surprisingly, Liton never came in the lime of fire of the 'criminals' who were shooting at RAB, but the highly trained (?) shooters of RAB got Liton in their line of indiscriminate, inaccurate and senseless fire! This reflects on the standard of training and professional shooting skills of the RAB! Full compensation should be paid to Liton from the salary of the team involved in shooting Liton; and if and when he is fit for life, he must be employed in RAB, as their office support desk staff; in all justice and fair play!

Bill Clinton dedicates
Boyhood Home
It is heartening to learn that former US President Bill Clinton has recently dedicated his boyhood home in Hope, Arkansas as part of the National Park Service. I fully endorse his feelings as he said ' My grandfather taught me to see people without regard for the colour of their skin” I sincerely wish that this feeling of Bill Clinton spread to all over United States and get into practical act. Barack Obama, in my view, has a great responsibility to work towards dissolving Black and White differences and bridging the gap created between the Americans practicing different religions. Equal treatment for all has to be ensured. Professor M Zahidul Haque Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Dhaka
Bangladeshi scientists
The world has known us for many reasons, for our culture, our history and our bravery! But still the world doesn't know that we are not very far from science and technology! Some great Bangladeshis have invented some useful things like, Dr. Anis Rahman-received the NASA Nanotech Briefs Nano-50 Innovator Award for 2008. This reward recognizes the top 50 technologies, products, and innovators that have significantly impacted.
Dr. Azam Ali developed a fibre from milk protein as medical suture for repairing damaged tissues, cut vessels and surgical incisions in a biodegradable way. Maqsudul Alam decoded jute genome which helps the golden fibre to become healthy, high yielding and weather-tolerant.

Assurance ought to be implemented
We, the victim students of Food Technology and Nutritional Science (FTNS) department in Mawlana Bhashani Science and Technology (MBSTU) University are in movement demanding for logical B.Sc (engineering) degree instead of existing B.Sc (Honours) degree for about last ten months. On the 20th March, we were bound to go for hunger strike in central Shaheed Minar of Tangail to attain our degree becoming helpless when we didn't get any response from the authorities after passing many peaceful steps. Many of our students became seriously sick during the strike. So we are requesting highly to the authorities to implement their assurance by taking fruitful steps without delay.
Our golden boys
Road accident is the most burning issue of our country. And major portion of its victims are our students. So the students should take the responsibility to save the country from the curse of road accident. Students of BHPI have realized this truth and finally accepted the challenge. They have formed CRP-Road Safety Forum whose main concern is to fight against road accident.
On 13th April, they have arranged the Debate Competition. The topic was “Drivers and helpers were responsible behind road traffic accident”. Both the ally team as well as the opponent team showed their brilliant performance. I think, for the first time in our country a debate competition was held in this issue. All students who are associated with Road Safety Forum deserves special appreciation for the great initiative that they have taken. Pradip Das
