Ahfaz ur Rahman: Dear Taimur, thanks. heard and saw. it is inspiring, like a bright torch in total darkness. the message in your mail given below, is also very encouraging for people like us who are at the threshold of eternal valley.

Beena Sarwar: Great work! Well done Taimur Rahman and Laal for this Tribute to Shahbag, made in collaboration with El To Somoy, Bangladesh – is this the first such Pak-Bangla collaboration?
The Daily Star Newspaper Bangladesh: While many noted artistes of the country have remained mum about the Shahbag Movement, Pakistani band Laal has paid a rich tribute to the protestors who stand against allies of the Pakistan army during the Liberation War. The video of the song “Na Honay Pai”, released on the band’s Facebook page early Monday morning, is said to been made with assistance from Bangladeshi group ‘Ei To Somoy’

 

Mahbub Alam Ukraine: Heartiest Thanks from a Bangalee who was a mere child inÿ ’71 and saw the brutality of Pakistan army led by notorious generals as tikka khan, niazi, rao forman ali and others. Hats Off to LAAL. This is call humanity! And answer to our collaborators!

Partha Saha Bangladesh: I hope this will also inspire our friends in Bangladesh without whom this video was not possible and all the members of LAAL band including comrade Taimur Rahman & our eitosomoy.com team & specially comrade Barnab who created this video.

Red Salute to the people of this sub-continent who made this video extremely popular and supported our friends in Shahbag

Mir Mohammad Ali Talpur: Fulfilling historical obligations is duty of all those who stand for justice. Your use of medium of music is truly expressive and bold. Hopefully people will learn and accept the truth. People love to live under illusions. More power to your voice. Laal fulfils a great need.

Farista Andalib, Rajshahi, Bangladesh: Exclusive and courageous video of Shahbag movement by Pakistani band Laal….Thanx for the Shahbag movement video :’) You guys are pioneer of the truth. Laal rocks…

Imtiaz Zalim Tawkir, Dhaka, Bangladesh: “Thanks to Pakistanis”. Do you know people? Some of here will consider me as a “Chhagu” without seeing the full post and they will keep ignoring me for my words “Thanks to Pakistanis”. Salute!

Rifat Mirza Bangladesh: We r not alone

Hree Farhat     Dhaka, Bangladesh: Pakistani Band’s Tribute to Shahbag 🙂 Learn Jamaat Learn. Thanks Pakistani secular people for supporting us in this secular movement we are very thankful to you . Lots of love

Riyadh Ahmed, Atlanta, Georgia: A Pakistani band expressing solidarity with Shahbag Movement, and asking to end impunity. Hats off…

ইফতেখারুল ইসলাম রুমন    Dhaka, Bangladesh: Speak truth to power. Our story needs to be acknowledged for the truth and the whole truth, abroad and in our own country as well. Justice will not be done until there are confessions and acknowledgement of what has happened, by all countries involved – Pakistan, USA, India, and Bangladesh (Russia helped too). Thanks to a friend in Pakistan, who is one of the warmest personalities I’ve met, for sharing this piece of ‘acknowledgement & solidarity’.

Gary Bin Frances Islamabad, Pakistan: Pakistan doing some soul searching. It’s called learning from past mistakes n making room for new mistakes. The culprits must be made an example of as in order for history to read just that. My dearest friends Terry, Debbie, Terrence, Don Bowers Michelle and most importantly Uncle Teddy and Aunty Amy, i think of you when applauding my friend Taimur Rahman in his efforts to raise awareness and bring peace to Pakistan.

Mohammad Kamruzzaman, Bangladesh: Thank u dosto for posting this. While pakistani new generation has started understanding what has been done by their army in 1971, sometimes it looks like some of our own bangladeshi new generation doesn’t understand the gravity of it.

Sazzad Hossain Ranju, Bangladesh: Respect for the old and new generation Pakistanis who possess this moral.

Azizul Hakim, Dhaka, Bangladesh: Pakistani heart bleeds with repentance!!!!!

Waqar Uddeen Lahore, Pakistan: An excellent video LaaL!!!, shows the events of 1971 as they should’ve been shown to all!!

Aneeq Zaman, Karachi, Pakistan: The reason I like Laal, because they bring back old memories, when music was done for music and art, and not to gain chart hits on pop scale

Humayra Ferdous Tania Bangladesh: thank you from a citizen of Bangladesh. I personally feel that Pakistan youth should come forward to sort out this issue, the issue which has never been acknowledged in Pakistani history…

Mahi Al Naim    Dhaka, Bangladesh: Thank you very much from the core of my heart to see the realization and feeling as well as expressing solidarity with us. I just hope each and every Pakistani get to know the true history of the liberation war of 1971 and the birth of Bangladesh, my Motherland. If someone torture your mother, rape her and hang her, how it feels, only we the Bangladeshi people knows that because our country is our Mother. and the present Shabagh Movement is against those war criminals who, being a Bangladeshi(!!!), helped Pakistani army at that time to do such heinous act to our peoples. . We want their exemplary punishment. and they will get it…Because we are here to protect our Mother at any cost from these enemies..

Soumitra Bose  Calcutta, India: Stupendous song, so touching tune that fits Faiz squarely. Again Laal has shown their mettle. Laal is now the official spokesmedia of all the movements in the entire South Asia!

 

Nafisa Islam   Bangladesh: Didn’t understand the urdu words, have seen the Bangladeshi footage countless times.. yet I started crying… I swear if anyone says sorry I can hardly bear it.. let alone gloat…and if the whole nation does… Lord Help me….
