To stay in Bangladesh, recognise Liberation War
The war of independence has always been an emotional matter for me. I have been to war. I pass my days carrying the pain of war. I still remember the scene – my friend has fallen. He has been shot. He jumped up suddenly and told me – “Mama, take care of my mother. No one is left for her.” Only son of a mother died becoming mad. I have crossed the river swimming; I was shot by the Pak army. The Pak army shot and killed 15,000 people in one day in Buriganga. The Buriganga turned red. Some 10,000 people were killed in Jinjira. In one day, 25,000 people have died in Keraniganj alone. On May 2, not a single house in Jinjira and Keraniganj was spared, the Pak army burned everything. In that liberation war, I crossed a river swimming with my rifle in hand. The Pak army shot hundreds of freedom fighters. They were crawling in bunkers. Some have lost their legs. Some have lost their eyes. Some have lost various body parts. Some have been violated. Thousands of freedom fighters had been martyred - only then the Pak army fled.
