Bangladesh National Museum holds discussion and exhibition on Liberation War

Marking Victory Day 2019, Bangladesh National Museum (BNM) is holding a 16-day special exhibition on the remnants of Liberation War at their Nalini Kanto Bhattasali Gallery.

Internationally renowned folklorist Professor Shamsuzzaman Khan, also the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, BNM, presided over the discussion on the Liberation War affairs. The event was held at the Poet Sufia Kamal Auditorium of the museum on December 16.

Renowned journalist and freedom fighter Haroon Habib attended the event as the chief discussant, while former director general of Bangladesh Television M Hamid and president of Ekatorrer Ghatok Dalal Nirmul Committee Shahriar Kabir, among others, spoke at the event.

 “The prime purpose of the programme is to inform the younger generation of the true history of Bangladesh and its glorious Liberation War,” Said Md Riaz Ahmed, Director General of BNM, in his welcome address.

“The anti-liberation forces tried to hinder Bangladesh’s development and erase the history of the Liberation War through the gruesome killing of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman,” said Haroon Habib.

A musical programme, featuring songs about the Liberation War, followed. Renowned artists Timir Nandi and Debolina Sur performed songs at the event.
