Allow free thinking
It is a matter of great satisfaction for the freedom loving people in the country that at long last a demonstration took place at Dhaka demanding allowing Taslima Nasrin to return to her homeland. We claim that ours is a society where tolerance is practiced. In reality writers such as, Daud Haider and Taslima Nasrin had been banished from the country for expressing their opinion. Humayun Azad, another radical author faced assassination attempt. No democratic country should suppress the views that are unpalatable to a group of people professing fundamentalism. Reactionary forces can not take the country towards advancement. Let us raise ourselves to face the challenges of 21st century.
