Remembering our martyrs

Victory Day has arrived at a time of great sadness and tension in our country. Each day brings news of unnatural deaths, disappearances and assault cases.

 I am reminded of the families who were left waiting for their loved ones during the liberation war. The sad song often comes to my mind – “Khoka phirbe, ghorey phirbe, kobe phirbe, naaki phirbe na.”

 I express my deep gratitude to the martyrs whose dreams we have failed to fulfill in many ways.
