DHAKA, Feb 25, 2021 (BSS) – Awami League General Secretary
Obaidul Quader today said the family of Father of the Nation
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is a symbol of honesty,
talent and courage in the history of country’s politics.
“Bangabandhu is for all and upholding his ideals means
showing respect to the values of the country and its
independence, he added,” he said this while addressing the
founding anniversary of Sheikh Russel Jatiya Shishu Kishore
Parishad at Krishibid Institution Bangladesh (KIB) auditorium
through videoconferencing from his official residence here.
Speaking as the chief guest, Quader, also the Road Transport
and Bridges Minister, said Bangabandhu, the independence
and Bangladesh are undividable and tied in one thread.
“Bangabandhu has given us an independent state and
geographical freedom while his worthy daughter Prime
Minister Sheikh Hasina has given us economic emancipation
and turned the country as a role model of hunger and poverty
alleviation,” the AL General Secretary said.
Bangabandhu and Sheikh Hasina are the role models of the
new generation, he said, adding “We all have to go ahead by
following their paths “.
Quader stressed the need for grooming the children as worthy
citizens aiming to materialize the Sheikh Hasina’s dream for
building a developed Bangladesh by 2041.
“For long the shackles were put on the feet of our history. It
was distorted. That’s why the youth generation should know
the real history of the country and the Liberation War,” he
added.
Noting that Sheikh Hasina is one of the three best heads of
state in the today’s world, Quader said none of Bangabandhu’s
family created Hawa Bhaban.
Speaking at the function, Fisheries and livestock Minister SM
Rezaul Karim said all should remain alert against the intrigues
being hatched at home and abroad so that the conspirators
cannot mislead people through propaganda.
Recalling the post-1975 history of the country, he said BNP
founder Ziaur Rahman grabbed the state power illegally and
encouraged the killers of Bangabandhu.
Chaired by Sheikh Russel Jatiya Shishu Kishore Parishad
president Rakibur Rahman, the meeting was addressed, among
others, by AL office secretary Barrister Biplab Barua, lawmakers
Nazrul Islam Babu, Sirajul Islam Mollah and Anwarul Abedin
Tuhin, Shishu Kishore Parishad Secretary General Mahmud Us
Samad Chowdhury and its Organising Secretary KM
Shahidullah.
