Dear Mr Tarzi sahib ,
Thank you very much for inviting me to attend the great Tarzi memorial. I wish I could but I am so sorry that I will not be able to do so.
I have always been and am an admirer of Late Mahmud Tarzi. He was the one who taught Afghans the alphabet of modern life 85 years before.
He was a great objective writer , visionary politician , kind teacher , great journalist and above all a greater human being.
We will never forget him and indeed I appreciate your work on him. You are a thoughtful grandson of a thoughtful grandfather.
Do keep his memory alive , his torch high and his ideas in action.

Best
Masood Khalili
