“Shaheed Sheikh Kamal, the eldest son of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, was a combat soldier, heroic freedom fighter in the liberation war of 1971, a symbol of eternal youth and talented lively person. He grew up embracing patriotism and a man of multitude talents,” State Minister Mohammad Zahid Ahsan Russell MP said while presiding over the meeting held today at NSC conference room.
Sheikh Kamal was a meritorious student and he was a representative of youth. The talent and skill that he left behind in culture and organization management, is a follow-up not only to the youth for our country but also to any age of youth in the world, before he embraced martyrdom at only age of 26, the State Minister added.
