None can erase Bangabandhu’s name from history anymore: PM
SANGSAD BHABAN, Nov 9, 2020 (BSS) – Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today told the parliament that none could erase the name of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman from the history anymore despite attempts to this end were made at different times.
“It is not easy to wipe out history. History itself takes revenge. From now on, that name (Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman) can’t be erased from history. This is the reality,” she said.
She said while bringing out a resolution under Article 147 of The Rules of Procedure for holding a general discussion highlighting the life and works of Bangabandhu in the special session of the parliament marking the “Mujib Borsho” to pay him a rich tribute.
Sheikh Hasina, also leader of the House, said once the name of Bangabandhu and his contribution to each of the movement including the Language Movement had been removed from history.
“Even the Historic March 7 speech had been banned after the assassination of Father of the Nation on August 15 in 1975. This is our bad luck. The speech has now become a world heritage,” she continued.
The PM said people can know the real history by reading Bangabandh’s “Oshomapto Attojiboni” (Unfinished Memoirs), “Karagarer Rojnamcha” (Prison Diary) and Amar Dekha Naya Chin (The New China as I Saw).
Work on publishing one more book written by Father of the Nation “Smritikatha” is going on, she informed.
Sheikh Hasina, also the elder daughter of Bangabandhu, said “Pakistani intelligence report on Father of the Nation can be another source of knowing true history, adding, “History returns time and again from the intelligence report (of Pakistani intelligence agency).”
