This declaration has turned a national celebration to an International event. Now the whole world observes the 21st February as International Mother Language Day. Every year on this day, people from all walks of life come to the martyrs monument and offer their clothes. Hundreds  of people bare-footed and gather in front of The Shaheed Minar with flowers and garlands. The government, different organizations and institutions arrange programmes to celebrate the day. Newspapers publish special supplements on this day. It is our national holiday. School, college, university and offices remain closed on this day. Our national flag is kept hoisted half most on this day. Actually, the day possesses a great significance for the whole nation as well as the whole world.
