Shaheed Dr Milon Day today
Shaheed Dr Milon Day will be observed across the country today, commemorating the 30th martyrdom anniversary of Dr Shamsul Alam Khan Milon, who was joint secretary general of Bangladesh Medical Association.
Milon, a teacher of Dhaka Medical College, was killed by thugs of then authoritarian ruler HM Ershad near TSC of Dhaka University, at the height of the anti-autocracy movement on this day in 1990.
The sacrifice of Dr Milon transformed the movement into a mass uprising that prompted the fall of the regime, paving way for restoration of democracy.
