Song of Freedom
The documentary film, Muktir Gaan (Song of Freedom), made by the Masood duo, is sublime indeed. It gives us many rare facts of the Liberation War of 1971. I watched it in the public library auditorium on Dec 15. I was appalled at macabre scenes of the turbulent days of 1971. The Pakistani Army played a nasty game in our country. We triumphed at the cost of a bloodbath of our innocent people.
I would like to pay my homage to the martyrs on the eve of our Victory Day. Those who hatched such a machination to wreak havoc in Bangladesh should be penalised. The Pakistani government should carry out the recommendations of the Hamudur Rahman Commission. Every person of Bangladesh should uphold the spirit of our freedom struggle. We are independent geographically, but we have to liberate ourselves intellectually as well as ethically.
