Prominent people including brave freedom fighters of the country, university teachers have called for more extensive research on the correct history of the liberation war and the role of the Mujibnagar government in achieving independence. At the same time, they urged the students to know the correct history.
Speakers made this call at a discussion meeting organized by the Dhaka University branch of Sampriti Bangladesh at RC Majumder Arts Auditorium of Dhaka University (DU) on Monday (April 22) at 10 am.
In the meeting titled ‘Liberation War, Mujibnagar Government and Bangladesh of Harmony’, they said that the country would not have been independent if the Mujibnagar Government had not been formed. That Mujibnagar government was not based on any religion, but was formed by Bengalis. Now we are using religion politically.
Piyush Bandyopadhyay, convenor of Sampriti Bangladesh, who was present as the main discussant in the program, said that there has not been a complete research on the Liberation War or Mujibnagar. We need to work more on this. In history, March and December dominate, April lags behind. But December might not have come if there was no April (maybe the victory of December would not have come if the Mujibnagar government had not been formed).

Beautiful women appeared on a conscription inspection site in Thailand and attracted attention.
On the 22nd (local time), Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported that Farida Kerayupan and Kanthong Pasaraporn, who are active as Thai influencers, appeared at the conscription examination center in Kasetwisai District, north-central Thailand.
Farida Kerayupan is a college student and campus ambassador with 69,000 followers on Instagram. Kanthong Pasaraporn is known to have participated in beauty pageants about 100 times and is known as a Thai angel by her fans.
All are said to be transgender and have applied for exemption from enforcement by bringing a gender reassignment surgery certificate.
Thailand typically recruits 80,000 to 100,000 soldiers each year, depending on the birth rate. Thai men usually receive a document containing conscription information when they turn 17 and must return it. Thailand’s Ministry of National Defense accepts conscription applications from men and recruits insufficient personnel through a lottery.
The military service period is usually 6 months for volunteer soldiers, and 2 years for active duty soldiers selected by lottery. Monks,

Every year around 500 Norwegians with diabetes have to amputate a toe, foot or leg. In other words, this affects one or more people, every single day.
– I am frustrated and provoked, says Bård Hoksrud (Frp).
– Terrible
As spokesperson for health policy in the FRP, he has long been involved in this issue. He is frustrated because he believes the government is doing too little to reduce the high number of amputations.
– It is hopeless when the only thing they come up with is that they have extended the diabetes strategy and will present a new strategy during 2024. It is just talk, but very little actually happens, says Hoksrud.
CONCERNED: By working preventively, we can save millions of tax kroner, as well as prevent many personal ailments,
President Biden Shows Strong Support For Aid To…
Title: Biden Supports Aid Plan for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan Amid Bipartisan Efforts
As tensions escalate between Ukraine and Russia, President Joe Biden has thrown his support behind a proposal by Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson to provide much-needed aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. This crucial bipartisan move aims to secure $95 billion in funding for these US allies this week.
Facing a difficult decision between potential job loss or aiding Ukraine, Johnson made it clear that he would forge ahead despite growing resentment from his right flank. His aid proposals, which include $61 billion for Ukraine, $26 billion for Israel, and $8 billion for Indo-Pacific allies, closely align with the amounts already approved by the Senate.
A significant portion of the funding for Ukraine is allocated for the purchase of weapons and ammunition from US defense manufacturers. In addition, Johnson suggests that $9 billion in economic assistance for Kyiv be structured as forgivable loans, with increased oversight on military aid. However, even the decision to support Ukraine has sparked outrage from populist conservatives in the House, further amplifying the threat to remove Johnson from his speaker position.
Johnson, positioning himself as a “Reagan Republican,” emphasized the critical nature of the current situation.

Crucial Turning Point: Negotiations For Global Plastic Pollution…
Global Efforts to Combat Plastic Pollution
Representatives from various countries worldwide are convening in Ottawa, Canada, to develop a treaty aimed at addressing the pressing issue of plastic pollution. The scale of the problem is alarming, with an estimated 2,000 garbage trucks worth of plastic being discharged into oceans, rivers, and lakes daily.
Recent reports from the United Nations Environment Programme highlight the concerning trend of individuals unknowingly ingesting microplastics through the air they breathe, the food they eat, and the water they drink.
Key Negotiation Points
During the discussions, negotiators are tasked with refining the existing draft of the treaty and determining its focus. This includes deliberations on whether the treaty should prioritize safeguarding human health and the environment, regulating plastic production, controlling the use of certain chemicals in plastics, or a combination of these aspects. Notably, a coalition of nations advocating for ambitious goals is pushing for comprehensive measures to be included in the treaty.
Urgent Need for Action
The urgency of addressing plastic pollution cannot be over stated. The detrimental impact of plastic waste on ecosystems, wildlife, and human health necessitates immediate and decisive action. As the global population continues to grow,
