8 revolutionaries' role remembered
The contributions of eight revolutionaries of the British era were remembered yesterday marking their 100th birth anniversary .
The revolutionaries are Ranesh Dasgupta, Badal Gupta, Probhash Chandra Bol, Anil Mukherjee, Mohammad Ismail, Paritosh Chattopadhay, Shudhanshu Dasgupta and Mrittunjoy Bandopadhay.
Biplobider Kotha, a monthly publication which narrates the biography of revolutionaries, organised the event at the Liberation War Museum in the capital yesterday marking the publication's third founding anniversary.
Justice Habibur Rahman, the convener of the event, said every country should have a revolutionary political party. But if the party is run by any foreign country or fund, it will be bad for that country, he added.
Haider Akbar Khan Rono, presidium member of Communist Party of Bangladesh (CPB), said our history and our struggle for liberation began long before 1947. Erasing such revolutionaries from textbooks is tantamount to distortion of history, he added.
Sheikh Muhammad Shahidullah, convener of the National Committee to Protect Oil, Gas, Mineral Resources, Power and Ports, Mujahidul Islam Selim, secretary general of CPB, journalist Kamal Lohani and Anisur Rahman Mollik, secretary general of Bangladesh Workers Party also were present at the event.
