DHAKA, April 16, 2020 (BSS) – Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader today urged AL men and the country’s people as well to observe the historic Mujibnagar Day staying at homes.

On the occasion of the Mujibnagar Day, Quader, in a statement, showed his respect and gratefulness to the doctors, nurses and health professionals working from the frontline to fight the global coronavirus pandemic.

He said coronavirus is a highly infectious virus and it has no antidote. “That’s why social distancing is the best way to prevent the deadly virus,” he added.

Quader, also road transport and bridges minister, said: “If we can build the forts of awareness at the household level under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, we will win in the war.”

He hoped that the government would be able to tackle the lethal and highly infectious virus with united efforts from all.

On this occasion, the AL general secretary paid homage to Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, 30 lakh martyrs and two lakh women, who were repressed by Pakistani military and its collaborators during the 1971 Liberation War, and the organisers and all freedom fighters of the great war.
