I pay my respects to the martyrs of Bangladesh's freedom struggle and liberation war and to the mothers and sisters who were victimized by the Pakistani occupation forces. With deep pain and tired heart, I remember my mother Begum Fazilatun Nesha and my three younger brothers Kamal, Jamal, Russell who were martyred by the merciless bullets of the assassins on 15th August 1975. Tributes to the four national leaders killed in Dhaka Central Jail. Who were brutally murdered on 3rd November 1975.
