These are facts, no fiction!
As a student leader of the Dhaka University Professor Ghulam Azam was directly involved with our Language movement from the very beginning of the independence of Pakistan from the British. He was General Secretary of Dhaka University Central Students Union (DUCSU).
For the cause of language he was arrested on March 11 1948 from T.T Office along with 10 to 12 students. He is the man who presented the Historic Memorandum to the then Prime Minister of the Pakistan Mr. Liakat Ali Khan on Nov 27 1948 at the Gymnesium ground, Dhaka on behalf of the students of the Dhaka University.
In 1946-47 he became the General Secretary of Fazlul Huq Muslim Hall, polling the highest votes. Twice he was elected General Secretary of DUCSU ( Dhaka University Central Students' Union) in 1947-48 and 1948-49. He was the first DUCSU G.S. in the post Independent era.
Some people wanted to vilify Azam, but, surely they do not want accept his contribution in Language Movement, which seeded the Independence movement.
Lets set the record straight!

Mr. Ullah,
When Pak. army demolished "SHAHEED MINAR" in 1971, did Golam Azam protest it ? Rather he was dancing on the demolished monument in joy!! Have you seen him to pay homage to the graveyards of Barkat, Rafique & Salam ? Don't try to make a fake, dubious person like Golam Azam leader of LANGUAGE Movement!!
