The International Mother Language Day is celebrated on February 21 every year. On this day in 1952, Bangalees laid down their lives to secure their right to speak in their mother tongue.
Millions of people across Bangladesh and the world pay rich tributes to the martyrs on this day. But this year the situation is different because of the Covid-19 outbreak.
The decision to limit the number of people came from a meeting of Dhaka University’s Environmental Council in presence of active student organisations of the campus on Monday. The meeting was held at Nabab Nawab Ali Chowdhury Senate Bhaban. Dhaka University Vice-Chancellor Professor Md Akhtaruzzaman presided over it, according to a press release issued by the university.
Everyone has to follow health rules, maintain social distance and wear a mask while paying tributes to the language heroes.
