Agartala Conspiracy Case
Mahfuzul Bari Toronto, Canada
I have been living in Toronto, Canada since 1981. I read the on-line version of your newspaper to keep up to date with the news of Bangladesh on a regular basis. As you know yesterday was the historic June 19. It was on this day in 1968 when the trial for Agartala Conspiracy Case began. To commemorate this day, I, on behalf of the 13 survivors out of the 35 accused, would like to convey some thoughts and reminisce about the case and what it has meant for all of us. I am currently in the process of finishing a piece reflecting on the case and its ramifications. The sole purpose of this piece would be to remind our current generations of the importance of this case and the stepping stone that it was towards our liberation as an independent nation just a few years and many struggles later.
