The historic Mass Upsurge Day will be observed today (Sunday) to commemorate the valiant sons of the soil who sacrificed their lives in the 1969 student-people uprising that culminated in the independence of Bangladesh in 1971, reports UNB.
This day (January 24) in 1969, students and people waged a vigorous movement against the then Pakistani autocratic regime of Ayub Khan.
The movement turned into a mass upsurge following the martyrdom of Motiur Rahman, a student of class IX of Nabakumar Institute in the capital.
