21 st FEBRUARIE ,,,,,
21 February is a memorable day in our national history. We observe the day every year as International Mother Language Day . The day is a national holiday. On this day,we pay Tribute to the martyrs who laid down their lives to establish Bangla as a state language in undivided Pakistan in 1952 . The struggle to achieve our language rights is known as the Language Movement. The seed of the Language Movement was sowm on 21 March 1948 when Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the Governor General of Pakistan, declared in a public meeting in Dhaka that Urdu would be the only state language of Pakistan. The declaration raised a Strom of protest in the Eastern part of the country. The protest continued Mon-Stop , gathering momentum day by day. It turned into a movement and reached its climax in 1952. The government outlawed all sorts of public meetings and rallies to stop it .
