Campaign on liberation war begins today
A two-day campaign, to inspire youths in the spirit of the liberation war, begins in seven divisional cities across the country today.
State Minister for Liberation War Affairs, Capt (retd) AB Tajul Islam, opened the campaign styled Abar 71 ('71 once again) at the Jatiya Press Club in the city yesterday.
The Moot Court Society of Brac University organises the programme, under which seven makeshift military camps, as used by the freedom fighters in 1971 war, will be set up in the divisional headquarters.
Young made-up soldiers (students of the university) of different forces including army, navy, air force, and guerrilla will stay in the camps and display their performances.
"The youths will express their view about the liberation war and present situation of the country through dance, drama, debate, song, poster, and speech," said Dr Turin Afroz, organiser of the campaign and associate professor of Brac University.
"Youths are reluctant to converge the liberation war with politics. The campaign will help them understand how the spirit of the 1971 war is used in the politics of the country."
