Stay united in interest of independence, sovereignty: Shahab Uddin
MOULVIBAZAR, Mar 7, 2021 (BSS) – Environment, Forest and Climate Change Minister Md Shahab Uddin today urged all to remain united in the interest of the country’s independence, sovereignty and development.
“Conspirators would not be successful if we all, including farmers and workers, stay united (against them),” he said while addressing a discussion and award distribution ceremony, organised by Baralekha Upazila Parishad, at its auditorium in Moulvibazar on the occasion of the historic March 7.
Speaking as the chief guest, Shahab Uddin said the country is moving forward under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and it will be a developed one by 2041.
“We are fortunate to have a great personality like Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as the father of the nation,” he said.
The minister said the historic speech Bangabandhu delivered on March 7, 1971 before the tens of thousands of people ignoring the blood-red eyes of the Pakistani army was recognised by UNESCO as one of the best historical speeches in the world.
“Inspired by this speech, we got an independent Bangladesh because the freedom fighters fought to death,” he added.
Shahab Uddin said Bangabandhu has given the country’s independence and his daughter Sheikh Hasina has brought the world honor for the country.
Therefore, he said, according to the plan of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, all should work together for the country’s development.
Chaired by Baralekha Upazila Nirbahi Officer Md Shamim Al Imran, the function was attended, among others, by Upazila Parishad Chairman Shoaib Ahmed, former Upazila Parishad Chairman and acting General Secretary of the Upazila Awami League Rafiqul Islam Sundar and Upazila Vice Chairman Taj Uddin.
Earlier, Shahab Uddin placed a wreath at the portrait of the Father of the Nation on the Baralekha Upazila Parishad premises on the occasion of the historic March 7 and participated in the Joy Bangla Cycle Parade.
