The Victory day

The Victory day

the sixteenth of December is our victory day. It is a memorable day in the history of Bangladesh. Our victory day confirmed the birth of Bangladesh on the world map. So it is the most important day in our national life. Background of the Liberation War: Sheikh Mujibur Rahaman and some patriot of Bangladesh raised their voice of protest. In 1968, Sheik Mujibur Rahaman and some other Bengalese were some other Bangalees were charged with a false case known as Agartola Conspiracy Case, But the people of Bangladesh started a strong movement against this case. Ayub Khan was compelled to release them. Then came Yahia Khan and he declared general election in 1970. The party of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman got absolute majority in the National assembly. But Yahia did not hand over the power and he stopped National Assembly. As a result. Sheikh Mujib started nonviolent, non-co-operation movement. Yahia started a false dialogue with Sheikh Mujib and he began to increase the strength of army. Freedom struggle of 1971: March 25 is a black day in the history of Bangladesh. On that night the army began to attack in the unarmed people of Bangladesh. Sheik Mujib was arrested and taken to West Pakistan. The independence of Bangladesh was declared. As the liberation war started, freedom fighters took birth overnight and faced the well-trained occupying forces to Pakistan fearlessly. At Mujib Nagar the government of the people republic of Bangladesh was formed on 17th April, 1971. But the Pakistan went on committing genocide to horror of the world. Women were raped and killed. The world press believed the atrocity of the of the occupying forces exceeded all limits. Millions of innocent Bengalese fled across the border in fear of their loves. So when their crimes were full, the Pakistanis came under direct attack of the combined forces of India and Bangladesh. Dignity of victory: This is a day of great victor. This is a victory of the oppressed. This is the day on which we should take oath to rebuild this land as “Sonar Bangla.” So we should take the day every year in a befitting manner with a national dignity. How the day is observed: It is a government holiday. We observe the day in a befitting manner. The national flag is hoisted in all private and functions are organized. Prayers for the well-being of the country are offered in mosques, churches and temples. The radio and the Television follow special programmes.
