2011 in retrospect

Mashudul Haque, Central Road, Dhaka

FAHAD KAIZER/ DRIKNEWS

The year 2011 will leave behind many a memorable incident of mishaps, terrible crimes, injustice to people, political clashes and upheavals, border killings by the BSF, disappearances of people, diplomatic failures and so on. But we the general people will look forward to a better start of another new year with a breath of fresh air. We will expect better performances from our political leaders who are to guide the country in a respectable and mature manner. The people expect the leaders to do something good for the nation, by forgetting or minimising all the past differences, since the nation has passed four decades achieving nothing significant to be proud of. On behalf of the contributors of this page, I wish the members of The Daily Star a prosperous 2012 with the hope that they will continue to inform us of news, views and stories. May Allah bless us all.
