চৈত্রের দুপুরে রোদ যেন আগুন!
তবুও মানবতার পক্ষে, নির্যাতনের বিরুদ্ধে, গাজার শিশুদের কান্না শোনার জন্য আজ রাজধানীর সোহরাওয়ার্দী উদ্যানে লাখো মানুষ এক কণ্ঠে হাঁটছে।
এই মার্চ কোনো রাজনৈতিক বার্তা নয় — এটি একটি মানবিক প্রতিবাদ, একটি সাম্য ও শান্তির ডাক।

আমরাও আছি সেই মানবস্রোতে...
আমরা চাই শান্তি, আমরা চাই ন্যায়বিচার।
