I refer to Mr.Mostafiz's letter (dt.14/07/2008), which he has written in reply to my letter (10/07/2008) 0n the above subject.

Since the issue of SAU's location is a settled case, I think, there is, therefore, no scope for initiating any debate on this matter. So, I called Mostafiz's suggestion to shift SAU elsewhere as irrelevant and uncalled for. Moreover. I am not convinced as to why, Mostafiz got so interested to remove SAU from its present location,i.e.

Sher-e-Bangla Nagar! I have noted that he had promptly supported one Prof.SAM's letter on the issue which was published in the Daily Star. He was supposed to publish his supporting letter in the daily Star but he made it in the Daily Independent quoting SAM's Star letter which I think is contrary to the norms of journalism! Till date, I have not seen any letter, original or supporting Prof. SAM on the issue in the Daily Star. It is now clear that only two gentlemen, Prof.SAM and Mostafiz suddenly got motivated to write on the issue of SAU's location on the plea of serving national interest! Ooop! If SAU because of its present location become so much harmful to national interest, then what to dot? Let the policy-maker think and publicly speak!
