SM Suman Rashid :
Only 5 days left for the Victory Day or December 16. However, in the language of speech, we pronounce the word December 16 more. Only 5 days left for Independence Day. Immediately after 1971, the flag of December 16 is hoisted every year on this day as a day of historical consciousness of the great Victory Day.
The remaining 5 days of the upcoming December 16. Like the rest of the country, from the neighborhoods and schools and colleges of Amtali Upazila of Barguna, daily flag sellers are also selling the country’s national flag in the alleys of the city. A daily flag seller named Abul Boyati was seen on Ek School Road of Amtali Municipality around 11 am on Wednesday, December 11.
In the spirit of victory, the festival of selling the national flag starts from the beginning of the month of victory and continues until Victory Day. During the month of Vijay, red-green flags can be seen flying on the roofs of houses and even on various private cars.
Abul Boyati, a daily flag seller, said that he comes from Nikhali Union, Shipchar Upazila, Madaripur district. He is a householder by profession and on special days, he sells flags. For the past 5 years, Vijay Mas has been selling flags in different areas to sell national flags.
Last year, he sold 3000 to 35000 taka every day. Everyone buys flags during the month of Vijay, so business has also been good. This year, he has started selling daily flag belts, logos, ribbons, caps and badges, but so far he is not able to report his income and expenses.
Md. Shahnur Rahim Risad, a class 2 student of Amtoli Qawmi Madrasa, who came to buy daily flags, said, “I love the country, so the country’s flag is my favorite.”
Daily flag buyer Md. Jubayer Panchayat, bought the flag during the month of Vijay. We got this red-green flag Bangladesh by fighting with blood. We want to keep this flag on our chest.
In this regard, freedom fighter Md. Monirul Islam Talukda said, “We got this red-green Bangladesh by participating in the great liberation war with the sacrifice of the Bengali nation. We should not only remember the victory on this 16th of December, but also remember all the martyrs and pray for them. This Bangladesh has had to be achieved with the blood of many martyrs.”
