1) LS, Kolkata –

We should not bow down (stop bury our Martyrs) by this mere ‘assurance’ of the government, which is fragile and which might not be readily in our favour to process it. We are a people not cowered in the face of adversities; we must fight until getting a befitting solution for our cause. And, if we are going to bury our Martyrs, let us bury our Martyrs on the highest ground in Lamka, build a mausoleum of marble or granite for their memorial so that we can pay respect for our Martyrs. A trust should be formed for its upkeep and in the ultimate achievement of our political goal, it shall be converted into a Historical and Monument Department.

5) CNL, Mumbai –

‘When leaders fail to lead, people take charge and leaders then have to follow’.‘No shift in the way we think or act can be more critical than this: we must put people at the centre of everything we do. No calling is more noble, and no responsibility greater, than that of enabling men, women and children, in cities and villages around the world, to make their lives better. We must do more than talk about our future, however. We must start to create it, now. (Extract from ‘We the Peoples – The Role of the United Nations in the 21st Century’ by Kofi Annan)
