Dear Alochok Mithu
Greetings to you from Kuwait!
I enjoy your postings very much and find that I disagree very little
with you say in principle. However, even those who agree with you may
disagree a little with your approach. I speak to you respectfully and
affectionately.
Your call for the EC to act where Upazilla Election results are
disputed is welcome as it echoes the thoughts of so many of us.
However to then claim that a Government listened to a particular call
of yours gives uneccessary ammunition to the slaves of the nethri
system and unecessary disquiet to your well wishers. You will find
yourself openly criticised for being dictatorial, conceited and
delusional. And I don't think any such comments are actually true.
When people attack us personally we need to be careful and identify
if they are doing so because they have little else to actually
contribute to the subject or because our sincere arguments have have
been misunderstood due to poor construction, poor language or poor
style. If we are misunderstood then we must try harder to be
understood.
Even if the Government sent one a personal letter of thanks for one's
advice one should not publicise it however happy one is.
I may sound patronising but this is based on my own failings and
losses.
Style. Its almost as important as substance!
My best wishes to you
Ezajur Rahman
Kuwait

They should cancel all Upazilla election results from these areas as
soon as possible. AL was so greedy that one case AL dished your own
25 yrs honest veterans leader from this area and failed him with
vote rigging and set-up since he won't allow any corruption in that
areas for Padma Bridge.
