Bijoy Mela
The concluding month of the year, December, brings for us the message of achieving freedom, the taste of emancipation from the regimentation of Pakistani rule. After the bloodbath of nine months, we obtained the `triumph` and since then have been celebrating this month with deep respect and solidarity. On the eve of this month, the people of all districts arrange various functions keeping this month's glory ahead. Bijoy Mela is one of them. In this month, since independence, our inner souls dance with joy round the duration of the fair where on one side of the stage the martyred sons are remembered, and on the other side the arrangement and buzz of the fair get the upper hand.
But during the tenure of the previous government, the celebration of Bijoy Mela ebbed a little bit, which still torments our mind seeing the declining interest in arranging this festival. But now, when the AL govt. came to power, we, the residents of Chittagong, once again get the ray of hope watching the Bijoy Mela beginning on the soil of Chittagong. We hope that Bijoy Mela will come to us at the end of every year and we should discern that it is not a political issue.
