1971 and 2024 are naturally interlinked: Nahid Islam

Savar, Mar 26 (UNB) - NCP Convener Nahid Islam on Wednesday said that the events of 1971 and 2024 are not separate and that the spirit of the 1971 Liberation War has been revived through the popular uprising of 2024, reports UNB.

"We believe that 71 and 24 are not separate; rather, through the popular uprising of 24, the spirit of 71 has been revived," he said while talking to journalists in the morning at the National Memorial in Savar, after paying tribute to the war heroes of the Liberation War.

Emphasising the significance of Independence Day, he said, "On Independence Day, we respectfully remember the martyrs of the great Liberation War. It was in exchange for the blood of millions of martyrs that we gained an independent country. The people of Bangladesh have sacrificed their lives and shed their blood at various stages of history for independence, democracy, justice and rights."
