We are Bengalese, Bengla is our mother tongue. Bangali nation fought for mother tongue. Sacrificing blood and lives our mother language, finally we got the right mother language in 1952.
Bengali nation only achieved this type of record, which is now recognized in the world wide. It was first announced by UNESCO on 17 November 1999. The day is now observed International Mother Language with due proper solemnity every year across not only in our country but also Globe
Bengali language is not only a language of Bengali now but also a pride of the nation. We achieved the recognition of an independent nation through getting the rights of language movement. This cognition inspired us to get the freedom. Repelling the enemy of language and enemy of nation `Pakistan`, Bangladesh achieved Freedom in 1971.
Our government under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina working for using Bangla in all sectors of our country, he added.
