INDIRA-SCULPTURE
Attack on sculpture means a strike to secularism: Indira
DHAKA, Dec 16, 2020 (BSS) – State Minister for Women and Children
Affairs Fazilatun Nessa Indira today said any attack on the sculpture
of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman means a
strike to secularism and the spirit of the liberation war.
“There are sculptures in the country and there will be. More
sculptures will be installed here,” she told a discussion in the
capital.
The state minister said those who carried out attacks on the
sculpture hurt secularism, the values of freedom and the spirit of the
liberation war.
“It can’t go on. The new generation can never accept it,” she added.
With chairman of Bangladesh Shishu Academy Lucky Inam in the chair,
the discussion was addressed, among others, secretary of the Women and
Children Affairs Ministry Kazi Raushan Akhter and director general of
Shishu Academy Jyoti Lal Kuri.
