“So far, 152 postal stamps have been issued in the names of martyred intellectuals. List should include intellectuals from all districtsEminent historian Prof Muntassir Mamoon, a member of the committee, said it was a positive development that the government had formed a committee and included researchers to finalize a list of martyred intellectuals. In the meeting, I will recommend the committee identify the recognized martyred intellectuals first, and then others. The list must mention as many names of martyred intellectuals as possible, from all 64 districts, he added. Appreciating the government move to finalize the martyred intellectuals list, Asif Munier, son of martyred Munier Choudhury, said the list should be neutral and comprehensive even though its preparation had been delayed for years.
