Congo tragedy


The nine Bangladeshi soldiers who died in an ambush in Congo deserve gallantry award. According to the Director of the ISPR Lt. Col. Nazrul Islam they fought to the last and did not try to escape (source Internet version of the Jai Jai Din 21 Volume). These soldiers went to Congo for the People's Republic of Bangladesh and they remained loyal to their oath.

So I request the Ministry of Defence to grant Bir Pratik to these brave soldiers. They were not bearing the blue UN Flag but also the Bangladeshi flag. May Allah grant peace to their departed souls.
