This is what I believe in expression ‘We the
People’ mentioned in our preamble. There is no doubt
that the elected representatives of Bangladesh Awami
League led the liberation struggle, but people from
all
walks
of
life,
like
fishermen,
housewives,
students,
industrialists,
labourers,
prisoners,
workers,
educationalists,
intellectuals,
Police,
Army, Ansars, BDRs and supporters of other political
parties participated, except few religiously fanatic
ideologue and their evil companions. Our liberation
war was not an isolated event rather it was an all
engaging
phenomena,
turning
each
and
everyone
essentially a freedom fighter. Some of them directly
fought face to face in the battle field - some of
them
supported
with
logistics
-
some
of
them
encouraged them to achieve their goal - some of them
travelled across the world to let people know of the
horrific atrocities perpetrated by the military junta
and their cohorts—some of them made the international
community aware of the real picture so that they
could support our cause— some of them collected money
by different means to support the freedom fighters—
