Sanguinary struggles for freedom never fail

BNP Secretary-General and valiant freedom fighter Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said a sanguinary struggle for freedom of the people of a country can never fail.

"The struggle for freedom of the people of a country never fails. We also feel that the Liberation War, as a people's war, will never fail," he told BSS in an exclusive interview on the eve of the Independence Day.

"Due to my active participation in this war, my family members thought that I might not return alive. But I never felt like that. We were always very optimistic - it might take a long time, but Bangladesh will definitely be independent," added Mirza Fakhrul.

Asked whether they got the country they wanted and for which they had fought the war, he said, "No, we did not get the Bangladesh we fought for. We were fighting for the country not only from March 26, but also from much before. Since then, we had been dreaming that a social system without discrimination and exploitation would be established. But today we are not in that place."
