Martyred Intellectuals Day today

The nation is being observed the Martyred Intellectuals Day today.

The nation recalls on this day the mass killing of a large number of Bengali top brains by the Pakistan army and their collaborators visibly sensing their defeat just two days ahead of the emergence of Dhaka as the free capital of free Bangladesh.

The occupation troops and their Bengali speaking collaborators like Al-Badr, Al-Shams and Razakars carried out a systemic killing throughout the nine months of Liberation War but the December 14 appeared to be a systematic massacre to expose the new born country to a state of brainlessness. 

National programmes have been chalked out to observe the Martyred Intellectuals Day in a befitting manner. 

Different political and socio-cultural organizations have also drawn up various programmes in observance of the day.

On the eve of the day, President Mohammed Shahabuddin and Chief Adviser Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus today gave separate messages paying profound respect to the memories of martyred intellectuals.
