For the first time, two-year-old Aroya Siddiq Sauda visited the Shaheed Minar on February 21, International Mother Language Day, accompanied by her father, Ariful Rahman. In one hand, she clutched the red and green national flag, while in the other, she held a bouquet—a heartfelt tribute to the language martyrs.
