6th December Sunamganj Pak-Invader Liberation Day, district administration paid tribute to 48 martyrs at mass graves

6th December Sunamganj Pak invader freedom day. Sunamganj is an unforgettable day in the blood-soaked history of many martyrs on that day. In the history of independence, on this day in 1971, the freedom fighters in various parts of Sunamganj were defeated in the battle, and the members of the Pak forces liberated the then sub-divisional town of Sunamganj through Lion.

While liberating this Sunamganj, many freedom-seeking students, peasants of the district risked their lives in the war and became martyrs in the armed struggle and freed this district from the Pak invaders. Students, farmers and people were forced to flee from Sunamganj in armed conflict.

3 Surya-sons, including the martyr hero Taleb Uddin, were martyred in the battle to liberate Sunamganj. On that day, they proved with fresh blood that the Bengali nation is a nation of heroes, they never know how to lose. As a result, in the middle of the long struggle and in the thick clouds of the city, the red and green flag of independence is flying in the sky of Sunamganj, free from invaders, when the victory of the comrades of this merciless carnage turned into deep sadness. According to the sources, on the first day of December, all the defense systems of the Pak invading forces broke down in the face of the resistance of all the brave freedom fighters of the district. 5th Sub Sector Commander Major MA Motaleb Sunamganj Border Yogirgaon, Captain Yadav Suburban Ambari Bazar Area and Captain Raghunath Gourarang Area members of Mukti Bahini risked their lives and entered Sunamganj city together.

As a result, the members of the Pak invasion forces could not survive in the city in the face of this well-planned attack by the freedom fighters and the allied forces. Freedom fighters and members of the allied forces forced them to flee the city to save their lives. Earlier on November 26, it became impossible for the freedom fighters to hold their base in Mangalkata area of ​​Sadar Upazila due to the attack by the invading forces from all sides. At that time, the freedom fighters retreated in the face of intense attack by the Pak army and strengthened their position in Naid Khar and Mirerchar area of ​​Godhigaon.From here, the freedom fighters waged a war of resistance against the Pan forces and prepared the way for the final victory on this day, December 6. Today's day was made particularly tragic by the sacrifice of the general secretary of the Chhatra League, the brave freedom fighter Taleb Uddin. During the war of resistance, Taleb Uddin was trapped near Shakrupaksha.

Local freedom fighters said that during the war, when the Pakistani forces were fleeing from Sunamganj, 3 people, including the Taleb, were captured by the Pakistani forces in the Ahsanmara area of ​​Sadar Upazila. A memorial was built in Ahsanmara Setu area of ​​Sunamganj to immortalize the memory of these three martyred freedom fighters. Their sacrifice took the history of freedom war of Sunamganj to a unique level.

As a tribute to the martyrs, wreaths were laid at the public grave memorial of 48 brave freedom fighters of Jahangir Nagar Union of Sadar Upazila by Sunamganj district administration on Saturday morning. Deputy Commissioner of Sunamganj laid the wreath.
