BNP has paid homage to the 1952 Language Movement martyrs, marking Amar Ekushey, the Language Martyrs Day, and the International Mother Language Day, reports UNB.
The party leaders and workers, led by its senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, reached the Central Shaheed Minar around 10:47 am after waiting for a long time and placed a wreath at its altar.
The leaders and activists of the party gathered in front of Balaka Cinema Hall at Nilkhet at 7:00 am wearing black badges. Later, they first offered fateha at the graves of Language Movement martyrs at Azimpur Graveyard and then went to the Central Shaheed Minar on Wednesday.
Talking to reporters there, Rizvi said BNP leaders and activists are taking to the streets to restore democracy, braving all repressive acts.
"The people of the country want to speak with a loud voice without any fear and they want to establish their rights inspired by the spirit of 21st February. We're taking a vow on this day to do that following the path showed by the language martyrs," he said.
In response to a question, Rizvi said the one-point movement of the party has not stopped. "The movement is going on. Our movement will continue until our desired goal is achieved."
