BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman highlighted January 24, 1969, as a significant day in the nation’s history. In a Facebook post on January 23, he paid tribute to the martyrs of the 1969 mass movement, which marked a turning point against Pakistan’s colonial rule. The movement led to a mass uprising, toppling the military regime and paving the way for Bangladesh’s independence. Tarique emphasized the uprising’s goal of restoring democracy and called on citizens to unite for freedom, sovereignty, and human rights.
