Lesson-3(B)
21
February is a memorable day in our national history. We observe the day every
year as International Mother Language Day. The day is a national holiday.
On
this day, we pay tribute to the martyrs who laid down their lives to establish
Bangla as a state language in undivided Pakistan in 1952.
On
21 March 1948 Mohammad Ali Zinnah, the then Governor General of Pakistan, at a
public meeting in Dhaka declared that Urdu would be the only official language
of Pakistan. The declaration raised a storm of protest in the eastern part of
the country. The protest continued non-stop, gathering momentum day by day. It
turned into a movement and reached its climax in 1952. The government outlawed
all sorts of public meetings and rallies to prevent it.
The
students of Dhaka University defied the law and they brought out a peaceful
protest procession on 21 February 1952. When the procession reached near Dhaka
Medical College the police opened fire on the students, killing Salam, Rafiq,
Barkat and Jabbar. This enkindled the sparks of independent movement of
Bangladesh.
