It is indeed heartening to learn that the Jessore district administration has requested everyone to bring down all foreign national flags which are hoisted to show support for teams of the World Cup Football. I think the government should order the same for the whole country. I am sure without hoisting foreign flags we can enjoy World Cup Football with the same enthusiasm.
The country is now gripped with the World Cup Football fever; and many supporters may be disappointed with this decision but I am sure they will understand the matter. It is a common practice in our country that just before World Cup people hoist flags of their favourite country. We should enjoy the game of football with its universal beauty. We should respect our laws and nurture a habit of respecting law.
At the same time we should teach our children to be respectful to the law of the land. In our country it is sad to see that flaunting law has become a symbol of power and authority. We must discard such mentality. We can not bring peace and order if we do not obey law. Our life will be much simpler if we all respect law from our respective positions.
