Prime Minister Tarique Rahman has reaffirmed his government’s commitment to consolidating the progress of democracy in Bangladesh. In a message issued on Friday ahead of the observance of Shaheed Day and International Mother Language Day 2026, he said that democratic values, people’s rights, and equality were the core spirit of the 1952 Language Movement, through which democracy has now been reestablished in the country.
Rahman paid tribute to the martyrs of the 1952 Language Movement, including Abul Barkat, Abdus Salam, Rafiq Uddin Ahmed, and Abdul Jabbar, whose sacrifices laid the foundation for the liberation of then East Bengal. He noted that the movement not only secured linguistic rights but also strengthened the basis of Bengali self-determination, democracy, and cultural identity. He highlighted that UNESCO’s recognition of February 21 as International Mother Language Day honors this legacy.
Calling for the preservation of linguistic diversity and proper use of Bangla, the prime minister urged all to uphold the dignity of all languages and cultures. He also wished success for all programs marking the national observance.
