1. Read the passage and answer the questions A and B.
...............The Assembly has been called into session on the 25th of March. But the blood spilled on our streets has not yet dried. About the 10th of this month, I have told them: Mujibur Rahman won't join the Round Table Conference because that would mean wading over the blood that has been shed. Although you have called the Assembly into session, you'll have to listen to my demands first. You'll have to withdraw Martial Law. You'll have to return all army personnel to their barracks. You'll have to investigate the way our people have been murdered. And you'll have to transfer power to the representatives of the people. It is only then that I'll decide whether we will take our seats in the Assembly or not. I don't want the Prime Minister's office. We want the people of this country to have their rights. I want to state clearly that from this day Bangladesh's courts, magistracies, government offices and educational institutions will be shut down indefinitely. So that the poor don't have to suffer, so that my people don't have to go through hardships, all other things will be exempted from the General Strike from tomorrow. Rickshaws, horse carriages, trains, and launches will be allowed to move. Only the Secretariat, the Supreme Court, the High Court, Judges' Court, and semi-government organizations such as WAPDA will not be allowed to work. On the 28th employees will go and collect their salaries. If their salaries are not paid, if another bullet is fired, if my people are shot dead again, I request all of you: convert every house into a fort; confront the enemy with whatever you have. And even at the risk of your life, and even if I am not around to direct you, shut down all shops and make sure that traffic on all roads and ports are brought to a standstill. If need be, we will starve to death, but we'll go down striving for our rights.
To those in the armed forces I have this to say: you are my brothers; stay in your barracks and no one will bother you. But don't try again to aim your bullets at our chests. You can't suppress seventy million people forever. Since we have learned to sacrifice ourselves no one can suppress us any more..........................

আমি প্রধানমন্ত্রিত্ব চাই না। আমরা এ দেশের মানুষের অধিকার চাই। আমি পরিষ্কার অক্ষরে বলে দেবার চাই যে, আজ থেকে এই বাংলাদেশে কোর্ট-কাচারি, আদালত-ফৌজদারি, শিক্ষা প্রতিষ্ঠান অনির্দিষ্টকালের জন্য বন্ধ থাকবে। গরিবের যাতে কষ্ট না হয়, যাতে আমার মানুষ কষ্ট না করে, সেজন্য সমস্ত অন্যান্য যে জিনিসগুলো আছে, সেগুলোর হরতাল কাল থেকে চলবে না। রিকশা, গরুর গাড়ি, রেল চলবে, লঞ্চ চলবে- শুধু সেক্রেটারিয়েট, সুপ্রিমকোর্ট, হাইকোর্ট, জজকোর্ট, সেমি-গভর্নমেন্ট দপ্তর, ওয়াপদা কোনো কিছু চলবে না। ২৮ তারিখে কর্মচারীরা গিয়ে বেতন নিয়ে আসবেন। এরপর যদি বেতন দেওয়া না হয়, আর যদি একটা গুলি চলে, আর যদি আমার লোককে হত্যা করা হয়- তোমাদের কাছে অনুরোধ রইল, প্রত্যেক ঘরে ঘরে দুর্গ গড়ে তোল। তোমাদের যা কিছু আছে, তাই নিয়ে শত্রুর মোকাবিলা করতে হবে এবং জীবনের তরে রাস্তাঘাট যা যা আছে সবকিছু- আমি যদি হুকুম দিবার নাও পারি, তোমরা বন্ধ করে দেবে। প্রয়োজনে আমরা না খেয়ে মরব, আমাদের অধিকার আদায়ের চেষ্টায় আত্মাহুতি দেব।
তোমরা আমার ভাই, তোমরা ব্যারাকে থাকো, কেউ তোমাদের কিছু বলবে না। কিন্তু আর আমার বুকের উপর গুলি চালাবার চেষ্টা করো না। ৭ কোটি মানুষকে দাবায়ে রাখতে পারবা না। আমরা যখন মরতে শিখেছি, তখন কেউ আমাদের দাবাতে পারবে না।..............

I died for beauty, but was scarce
Adjusted in the tomb,
When one who died for truth was rain
In an adjoining room.
He questioned softly why I failed?
"For beauty", I replied. "And I for truth"- the two are one;
We brethren are", he said.
And so, as kinsman met a-night,
We talked between the rooms.
Until the moss had reached our lips,
And covered up our names.
