We mustn’t forget to honour our mother language Bangla: Hasina
The International Mother Language Institute organised the programme to mark International Mother Language Day. Hasina said Bengalis sacrificed their lives to protect the honour of their mother language on this day, Feb 21, in 1952. “They first banned writing Bangla using Bangla letters and asked us to write Bangla using Arabic scripts. Later, writing Bangla using Roman letters was ordered.”“Another ban was slapped on reading Rabindranath Tagore’s works. In 1999, UNESCO recognised it as International Mother Language Day.
