Land Minister Narayan Chandra Chand said that the fight for the mother tongue is related to the liberation war. Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman started the movement for mother tongue. The reason mother tongue is going international is because it is a basic human right. The Father of the Nation also mentions it in the Constitution. Attempts were made to take away that language. We will have relations with all languages and cultures at the international level. But one’s own language and culture cannot be forgotten.
