Nation celebrates Independence Day Wednesday
Tuesday, 25 March 2014
The nation will celebrate the 44th Independence and National Day Wednesday with a fresh vow to turn Bangladesh into a peaceful and non-communal country to materialise dreams of the martyrs.
On this day in 1971, the unarmed valiant Bangalees of the then East Pakistan burst into a flame to resist the Pakistani occupation forces who unleashed the worst genocide in the world’s history to suppress them, according to a news agency.
