Reprinted documents of liberation war
A few days go, the reprinted 15 volumes of the history and documents of our war of independence was launched. After the ceremony, the LGRD minister said in a TV interview that nothing was added or removed from the old edition, they just corrected the spellings. If it is so, then we have nothing to say. But the newspapers reported that some new information was added to the newly reprinted edition. The following day in a BTV programme (Sangbadpatra Bangladesh), a pro-BNP BFUJ leader expressed his view that it is logical to include the name of Ziaur Rahman as the declarer of independence and he praised the government for doing so in the reprinted issue.
If the reprinted edition includes such information then we can say it is not only reprinted but also re-written. The history of our liberation war is not a fairy tale that it can be changed any time. The BNP leaders should not forget that history cannot be changed.
