A day to remember
August 21, 2004 will be observed in the history of Bangladesh as the day on which an attempt was made to gag people's freedom of speech. . This day will become another Ekushey to the freedom loving people of this country. On this day, powerful grenades were charged to eliminate the former prime minister and the present leader of the opposition of Bangladesh parliament along with his party high ups. Eighteen people were killed and 400 injured an unprecedented massacre in the history of the country.
This is a big conspiracy to gag the voice of the people and civil society . The attackers like to see the nation as a country of barbarians, looters, cheaters sometimes in the name of religion and frequently in the name of politics. The heritage and culture of Bangladesh is really at stake.
