Mr. Mahboob Khan,
and other members of Bangla Desh Unity Federation.
Thank you for the email.
But please "reply by today evening."
You want us all to "kneel down for 8 minutes and 43 seconds" tomorrow. Please calarify what type of Kneeling it is. Is it the type during our 5 time daily prayers?
But I suggest:
Is it for brother who has been killed? I suggest we all must pray for him if he was a Muslim. Secondly I suggest we should try to collect some money to help his wife and children if he had any.
And I congratulate you for Bungla Desh Unity Federation, Please make it strong and help full for our all Bungla Desh brothers. I am in Canada but have visited my brother (Anwar Khawaja) in Los Angeles, He is a famous writer of Urdu novels and dramas for TV for the last 30 years. He is also editor of Urdu news paper I am now convinced to visit your Bungla Desh Unity Federation.
Wishing you success and hoping to see you.
