Death of a freedom fighter
Saturday, 2 August 2014
Most people know him after his death. His name is Euke Ching Marma. He is a freedom fighter, not an ordinary one, a freedom fighter with gallantry award. Another thing that makes him unique is that he is the only Bir Bikram awardee freedom fighter from the country's indigenous communities.
Euke Ching Marma passed away in Chittagong Medical College Hospital on Friday last-unsung and almost unnoticed. The 80-year-old valiant freedom fighter had been suffering from old-age complications since long. A member of the country's indigenous community mentioned on face book on Friday that Euke Ching Marma spent his days almost unfed and uncared for.
What a shame that the fake freedom fighters live with glory, honour and affluence and the genuine ones die the death of Euke Ching Marma!
