PM greets FFs with gifts on Victory Day
DHAKA, Dec 16, 2018 (BSS) – Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today greeted all
Freedom Fighters (FFs) of the country on the occasion of the 48th Victory
Day.
Like the previous years, the premier sent flowers, fruits and sweetmeats to
the war-wounded freedom fighters (FFs) at Martyred and War-wounded Freedom
Fighters’ Rehabilitation Centre (Muktijoddha Tower-1) on Gaznavi Road at
Mohammadpur in the city as a mark of her good wishes for them.
Officials of the Prime Minister’s Office led by PM’s Protocol Officer SM
Khurshid-ul-Alam handed over these items to the war-wounded FFs this morning.
The Freedom Fighters thanked and expressed gratitude to the prime minister
for remembering them on every national day and festival like the Independence
Day, the Victory Day, Eid and Pahela Baishakh.
They also expressed gratitude to the premier for undertaking massive steps
for their rehabilitation including construction of Mutijoddha Tower-1, a 13-
storey residential and commercial building, at Mohammadpur.
The FFs and their family members wished Sheikh Hasina good health and long
life.
There are residential flats and shops in the Muktijoddha Tower-1 for 80
families of the war-wounded FFs.
The nation is celebrating the 48th Victory Day today marking the most
precious day when the country was liberated from the Pakistani occupation
forces after a nine-month-long War of Liberation.
Forty-seven years back on December 16 in 1971, Bangladesh was born as an
independent country under the leadership of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, and for the supreme sacrifice of three million martyrs
and the honour of two lakh mothers and sisters.
