History was “so distorted” that Bangabandhu’s role in the 1952 Language Movement, and even in the 1971 Liberation War was removed, Hasina said at a discussion in Dhaka on Saturday. The Awami League organised the discussion at the Bangabandhu International Conference Centre to mark Bangabandhu’s historic March 7 speech of 1971. “I don’t know if they feel ashamed of their attempts to erase the speech by banning it. I don’t think so,” she said adding that only the shameless people could do such a thing. Hasina thanked the Awami League leaders and activists who played the speech on loudspeakers defying the restrictions.
