DHAKA, March 23, 2019 (BSS) – Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology Minister Mustafa Jabbar today said Bangladesh had won independence due to the courageous leadership of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
“Bangladesh had one Bangabandhu and that is why the country became independent,” he said at a discussion meeting organized by Bangladesh Post office (BPO) to mark the Independence and National Day as chief guest in the GPO auditorium here.
Referring to the events leading to the victory in the 1971 liberation war, Jabbar said Bangabandhu had much earlier asked the people to take preparation for this war. He also described his experience of preparation for the liberation struggle during his student life at Dhaka University.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has continued her effort to build a “Sonar Bangla” dreamed by Bangabandhu through establishing Digital Bangladesh, he said, adding, “Today, Bangladesh is now a role model of development.”
Posts and Telecommunications Division Secretary Ashoke Kumar Biswas and BPO Additional Director General S S Bhadra also spoke at the meeting with BPO Director General Sushanta Kumar Mandol in the chair.
