Hasan for evaluating dedicated leaders

DHAKA, Aug 27, 2019 (BSS) – Information Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud today said the dedicated leaders and activists of Awami League (AL) will be evaluated in selecting the party’s leadership.

“Everyone wants to board on AL’s boat as the party is in state power for the third consecutive time. But there is no need to take all on board. Those who remained with Sheikh Hasina during the crying needs, should be elected party leaders. We have to move forward with them,” he said.

Hasan, also AL publicity and publication secretary, stated this at a discussion organized by Bangladesh Sachibalay Karmakarta-Karmachari Oikya Parishad at the Secretariat here, said a press release.

Road Transport and Bridges Minister and AL General Secretary Obaidul Quader addressed it as the chief guest with Mourning Day Observance Committee Convener Mohammad Moinul Islam in the chair.

LGRD and Cooperatives Minister Tajul Islam, Deputy Minister for Water Resources AKM Enamul Haque Shamim and Local Government Division Secretary Helal Uddin Ahmad spoke it as special guests.

Hasan paid glowing tributes to the memory of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and martyrs of the August 15 carnage, four national leaders and martyrs of the Liberation War and all democratic movements.

He said those who could not tolerate the existence of Bangladesh, killed Bangabandhu. It is high time to bring all the masterminds, including Ziaur Rahman, under trial for the killing, he added.

Bangabandhu had a dream of building a developed country, the minister said, adding that Bangabandhu would have declared Bangladesh as autarky in food, if he had not been killed on August 15, 1975.

The country, he said, is now marching forward fast under the leadership of Bangabandhu’s daughter Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
