The International Martyrs'
Day was celebrated in the capital of the country with the honor and kind
respect of the Bangladesh Embassy.
The concert began at

May I forget what was done in the blood of my brother' in the service of the
Embassy officials and local artists. In addition, a touching patriotic song
from the Bangla Radio station was also served.
On the first day of
Ekushey, formal day of floral offering began at the temporary Shaheed Minar,
set up at the Embassy premises.
First, the Ambassador
of Bangladesh appointed in the country, Abdus Sobhan Shikdar, presented the
floral. Then the expatriates from all walks of life, including leaders of
different Bangladeshi expatriate organizations, paid their respects to the
language martyrs.
Many expatriate
Bangladeshis, including leaders of more than 5 organizations, participated
spontaneously, ignoring the winter night.
Expatriates from all
walks of life pay their respects to the linguistic martyrs, including the names
of various Bangladeshi expatriate organizations.
In his speech, he
fondly remembered the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman
and the martyrs of the language movement and wished peace of their souls.
The ambassador briefly
summarized the history of the language movement, saying that Bangabandhu had
made a significant contribution to the preservation of the dignity of the
Bengali nation and the Bengali language. Under the leadership of Bangabandhu,
the first all-party state language struggle council was formed in the first
demand for mother tongue.
He had to be imprisoned for this movement. On
February 24, the language became the final form of the movement. Salam, Barkat,
Rafiq, Jabbar and Shafiq were not martyred.
The Ambassador said
that Bangabandhu introduced Bangla language to the world class for the first
time by addressing the establishment of Bangla as the state language in the
12th and the 25th general session of the United Nations on September 6.
Language Movement
Ambassador Abdus Sobhan Shikdar said, "The language movement was the
backbone of the Bengali political liberation movement." Inspired by the
spirit of Ekushey, we started the movement for freedom from liberty and
liberty. In 7, we achieved independent sovereign Bangladesh. Bangabandhu led
this victory.
The Ambassador said,
"This year we are celebrating the birth anniversary of the Father of the
Nation at home and abroad in proper dignity. The main goal of celebrating birth
anniversary is to bring the vision of this great leader and his contribution to
our freedom to the new generation and the world. The Ambassador thanked the
expatriate Bangladeshis for practicing and nurturing Bangla language on foreign
soil and urged them to contribute towards building the country by participating
in all the programs of Mujib Centenary.
Embassy officials read
the statements given by the President, the Prime Minister, the Minister of
Foreign Affairs, the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and the Minister of
Cultural Affairs on February 21st. Notice
