Ashfaque Hai 50th Anniversary of Bangladesh’s Independence / My father laid down his life for our freedom. I couldn’t be prouder of him. 26 March 2021 It is with a sense of pride and honour that I recollect the events of March 30, 1971 at Jashore Cantonment. My father, Lt Col. Syed Abdul Hai, was commissioned into the Army Medical Corps (AMC) in 1950. 26 March 2021
