CHATTOGRAM, Dec 16, 2020 (BSS) – The 50th Victory Day was celebrated in the city as elsewhere in the district today paying rich tributes to martyred sons of the soil with a vow to thwart the new conspiracies being hatched by the defeated anti-liberation forces.
The celebration was held peacefully abiding by health directives in the wake of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in the port city.
Hundreds of jubilant people including officials and employees and political activists participated in the procession bearing special significance in the birth centenary of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
As Bangladesh completes its 49th year of being a sovereign country, there still remains a gap in preserving the memories of many who were martyred during the war. Two such unsung martyred intellectuals from the port city are Kaminikumar Ghosh and Abani Mohan Datta. To this day, no initiatives have been taken in the port city to preserve the memories of these remarkable, brave individuals.
Kaminikumar Ghosh and Abani Mohan Dutta were killed by the Pakistan army during in 1971 due to their progressive activities and strong stance supporting the independence of Bangladesh.
Current generations rarely know of these courageous people. There are roads and intersections in Chattogram named after martyred intellectuals, but there is no such remembrance of Kaminikumar and Abani Mohan in the city.
