BNP on Sunday announced a two-day program to observe the Shaheed Dibosh and International Mother Language Day with due respect on February 21.
BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir announced the programs at a press conference after a joint meeting of the party's different units at its Naya Paltan central office.
February 21 will be observed simultaneously as Shaheed Dibosh and International Mother Language Day on Tuesday in recognition of the Bengali nation's supreme sacrifice to the cause of their mother tongue. In 1999, Unesco declared the 21st of February as the International Mother Language Day.
As part of the programs, Fakhrul said their party will hold a discussion at the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh on Monday, marking the day.
He said they will keep their party and national flags at half-mast and hoist black flags at BNP Naya Paltan central office at 6am on February 21.
The leaders and activists of the party will also gather in front of Balaka Cinema Hall at Nilkhet at 6:15am wearing black badges the same day under the leadership of the Fakhrul. Later, they will first offer fateha at the graves of Language Movement martyrs at Azimpur graveyard and then go to the Central Shaheed Minar to pay tributes to the martyrs.
Besides, BNP's different units across the country will also observe the day with due respect through various programs.
