Sanctity of historical sites

It is disconcerting that many people are not aware of the importance of preserving the sanctity of Shaheed Minar and Liberation War related sites. Except in February, March and December, these sites mostly remain neglected. Many organisations use them for holding programmes that does not go with the spirit of our Liberation War or language movement. These places have become popular hangouts for school and college students, and remain covered with electoral posters. It's really unfortunate. We should keep in mind that these sites are symbols of our glorious past. So their sanctity must be protected.
