Bangladesh 16 December 1971 Great Victory Day.
After a long 9-month war, a new independent sovereign state called Bangladesh has emerged on the world map. In return for the sacrifices of millions of martyrs and the honor of 200,000 mothers and sisters in the long nine-month war, we got our red-green independent sovereign land Bangladesh. I respectfully remember all the martyrs for whose sacrifice this motherland is today.
Happy 50th anniversary of glorious victory and great victory day to all my friends.
In December, the month of victory, I am remembering Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the father of the best Bengali nation of the millennium, and the 3 million martyrs of the great liberation war and the honor of 2 lakh mothers and sisters. I respectfully remember the four national leaders, whose leadership and unlimited sacrifices earned the red and green flag of Bangladesh. We have got this independent sovereign Bangladesh.
My father's story of freedom fighter in 1971.
I am giving a brief account of the story I heard from my father.
My father was 10 years old at the time of freedom fighters. Although my father was young, my father was a very brave man. Our village had a means of transportation. Tahal river.
In the district of Chittagong in Bangladesh, the freedom fighters first destroyed the bridge over the river Karnafuli Kaloghat in Chittagong. Because the Pakistani Pak-troops could not enter the village. So everyone used to travel by river. Because my father was young, he could walk around the river like a normal human being, and the freedom fighters used my father to exchange secret information with my father. My father used to give all the information to the freedom fighters whether any Pakistani Pak-troops boats, boards, ships could be seen on the river. This helped to destroy and kill the Pakistani Pak-troops on the way to the river. The first conquest of the city of Chittagong took place in December 1971 from the Karnafuli Kalughat river. My father knew that day. The Pakistani Pak-troops will enter the village by boat on this route. My father told the news to the freedom fighters. They planned to destroy the Pak-troops with this boat.
Because my father was on the other side of the river that day, the Pakistani Pak troops told Baba to pick up the Pak army bomb bags. My father is scared. If I shoot my father, the Pak-troops. They slapped my father two or three times. That is why it is not working as they say. Finally agreed. And they picked up my father along with the boat.
My father was scared. Because after a while the boat will be destroyed by the freedom fighters with a bomb, along with my father will die. Fearing that day, my father considered himself a martyr. But realizing the time and opportunity, my father jumped into the river water. The village boy can swim. As soon as they jumped, the freedom fighters detonated bombs on the boat. Due to which all the Pakistani Pak troops in that boat were killed and destroyed. My father also survived that day.
Without a fight, my father is listed as a partner in the war. My darling father was admirable at a young age.

The Soviet Union also presented a resolution to the United Nations calling for an end to the genocide and a political solution. Jacob, the Soviet envoy to the United Nations, said the proposal was blaming the other party, not the real culprits. He said pro-Pakistan states were blaming India and Pakistan for the same. This is a terrible mistake. He said the incident was due to the refusal of the legitimate representatives of East Pakistan to hold talks. He said India was being persecuted unnecessarily. One crore refugees have come to India. Their grief is indescribable. In this case, the UN would have listened to their representative, but it would have been better.
