Social Welfare Adviser Sharmin S. Murshid stated that the 2024 mass uprising in Bangladesh represents a continuation of the 1971 Liberation War’s pursuit of economic and social justice. Speaking at the National Martyrs’ Memorial on Victory Day, she said the young protesters of 2024 embody the same spirit of freedom and equality that inspired the nation’s independence movement.
Murshid, daughter of educationist Khan Sarwar Murshid, emphasized that both movements sought democracy, equality, and fairness. She cautioned against drawing divisive comparisons between 1971 and 2024, arguing that such debates diminish national pride. According to her, the Liberation War remains a source of immense honor, and any “unwanted interpretation” of it weakens the country’s unity.
Her remarks come amid ongoing national reflection on the legacy of 1971 and the meaning of recent civic movements. Analysts note that her comments may influence how younger generations connect their activism to Bangladesh’s foundational struggles for justice and democracy.
