The movement of 21st February was a call for the restoration of democracy.
Non-cooperation movements against the rulers grew day by day to achieve independence as the ultimate target.
Making Urdu the sole state language was not their only desire; there were deeper motives behind it.
These reasons included political and educational aggression, and the erosion of socioeconomic, cultural, and traditional affairs.
They sought to monopolise trade and commerce, force submission, and suppress the people through tyrannical depletion.
Regarding economic exploitation, goods produced by our active people from our land and factories were taken to West Pakistan.
These products were priced cheaply in their land but remained costly for us to consume.
A great disparity existed in the valuation of goods between the two wings, deeply impacting our imports and exports.
History shows they consistently sought to suppress us economically and exploit us in various ways.
They formulated policies to humiliate us through tyrannical attitudes.
In response, our people launched the movement of 21st February, protesting against their aggression and misrule.
The 21st February movement was a direct revolt against the exploitation and occupation of our national resources.
They forced Urdu as the state language to extend their exploitation across economics, commerce, education, and culture.
Much like the British Empire, they sought total dominion.
