Ahead of the 70th anniversary of the historic language movement, Prime Minister’s ICT Affairs Adviser Sajeeb Wazed Joy has paid tribute to the language movement heroes who sacrificed their lives for their mother tongue on February 21, 1952.
In a Facebook post from his verified account, he wrote, “21st means not bowing down. A heartfelt tribute to all the martyrs of February, the month of language.”
The post accompanied a picture of Shaheed Minar, the national monument commemorating the supreme sacrifice of the language heroes, with a text on it saying, “My alphabets are earned with blood”.
