Jahanara Imam's birthday today

Today is the 82nd birth anniversary of Shaheed Janani Jahanara Imam, an eminent litterateur and the crusader against war criminals and fundamentalism.
Born in Murshidabad in India in 1929, Jahanara Imam is mostly remembered for her role in bringing the issues of war crimes and war criminals of 1971 to the forefront.
On the occasion, Ekatturer Ghatak Dalal Nirmul Committee, the platform waging war against the collaborators since January 19, 1992 under her leadership, would place wreaths at her grave in Mirpur Shaheed Intellectuals' Graveyard at 8:00am, says a press release.
Jahanara Imam wrote a total of 26 books including the widely acclaimed “Ekatturer Dinguli” (Days of 1971), and several articles on trial of war criminals and spirit of War of Liberation in various newspapers.
Mother of martyred freedom fighter Rumi, Jahanara Imam breathed her last after struggling with cancer for long in USA in 1994.
Different branches of the committee organise discussions at home and abroad. However, the central discussion would be held at BILIA auditorium on May 12 due to unavoidable reasons, the release adds.
