Who are you to ban a slogan that is deeply rooted in the hearts and blood of Bengalis? The people who oppose the “Joy Bangla” slogan are not representative of Bangladesh. We welcome all that comes from our nation’s soil and its citizens. We support the enduring bravery and spirit of Bengal, the principles of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the Father of the Nation, the sacrifices made by the brave martyrs of the Liberation War, and the “Joy Bangla” slogan, which served as the war’s battle cry.
Who are you to ban a slogan: You, who are the illegitimate offspring of Pakistanis, how could you possibly understand the joy of loving a country? How could you grasp the sweetness of the “Joy Bangla” slogan? You will never understand because this slogan reminds you of the defeat of your forefathers.
The core of Bengali identity is embodied in the “Joy Bangla” phrase. Any attempt to undermine that identity will unavoidably encounter opposition. The “Joy Bangla” slogan’s opponents are adversaries of this country and its citizens. The people of our nation will hold this illegitimate Yunus administration accountable for its rapes, killings, looting, and other wrongdoings. Who are you to ban a slogan…
The “Joy Bangla” slogan is inextricably associated with Bangladesh’s independence. It was the Liberation War’s motto. The “Joy Bangla” slogan was adopted as the Liberation War’s battle cry on March 7, 1971, during a momentous speech delivered by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman at Suhrawardy Udyan. Even before that momentous assembly, the slogan had been heard in numerous places. However, after March 7, it became an essential part of Bangladeshis’ identity.
The “Joy Bangla” slogan is the great Liberation War’s motto, a symbol of Bengali heroism, and a light in the darkness. Our heroic freedom fighters adopted this phrase in their hearts and gave their lives without hesitation. How can such a slogan be prohibited in this country? The people of this country will not tolerate the dangerous decision of the illegitimate Yunus administration. Who are you to ban a slogan..
Joy Bangla
