B'desh to celebrate 50th Victory Day

By Mir Afroz Zaman
Dhaka, Dec 15 (UNI) The celebration of the Victory Day this year has a different dimension, as the day is set to be celebrated in the 'Mujib Borsho' on the occasion of the birth centenary of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman from March 2020 to March 2021, just ahead of the country's golden jubilee of independence, to be celebrated in 2021.
Bangladesh is set to celebrate on Wednesday, the 50th Victory Day, the most precious day of Bengali people, as the country was liberated from the Pakistani occupation forces on this day 49 years back, after a nine-month-long bloodstained War of Liberation.
On December 16 in 1971, Bangladesh was born as an independent country under the leadership of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, at the cost of supreme sacrifice of three million people and the honour of nearly half a million women.
Though COVID-19 has almost paralysed the whole world barring the mankind from attending any public gathering in person, the celebration of the Victory Day this year has a different dimension.
President M Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina issued separate messages on the eve of the day, paying glowing tributes to the martyrs of the Liberation War in 1971.
The Bangladesh government has taken elaborate programmes to celebrate the day at the national level, maintaining health guidelines in the face of global pandemic of COVID-19.
