HASAN-BANGABANDHU-DISCUSSION
Bangabandhu is global leader of all Bangalees: Hasan
DHAKA, March 17, 2021 (BSS) – Paying rich tribute to Bangabandhu on his
101st birth anniversary, Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan
Mahmud today said architect of the Bangalee nation Father of the Nation
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is not only the leader of Bangladesh, but
also the global leader of all Bangalees.
“The Bangalee nation has achieved the independence under the leadership of
Bangabandhu and established the state through struggles. For this,
Bangabandhu is not only leader of Bangladesh, but also leader of all
Bangalees across the globe,” he said.
The minister made the comments while addressing a discussion at the
auditorium of Awami League central office at Bangabandhu Avenue in the
capital.
Bangladesh Krishak League (BKL) organised the discussion, marking the
birth centenary of Bangabandhu.
Earlier in the morning, Hasan along with the leaders of Awami League paid
rich tribute to the great leader at his portrait at Bangabandhu Memorial
Museum in city’s Dhanmondi.
He said, “The Bangalee nation has achieved the independence and established
the state through struggles and bloodshed under the leadership of
Bangabandhu. Such a leader is rare in the history.”
He said the nation is going to celebrate the golden jubilee of independence
when the country got the final recommendation from the United Nations for
Bangladesh’s transition to a developing nation from least-developed country
status.
But, he said, it is really astonishing that BNP didn’t congratulate the
government for the success of the nation. They even didn’t congratulate the
countrymen, said Hasan, also Awami League joint general secretary.
He said, “We know that they (BNP) feel ashamed as the achievement came
under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Eventually, the
party has failed to express gratitude.”
The minister said BNP, like Pakistan, is disappointed as the country is
progressing fast under the leadership of Bangabandhu’s worthy daughter Prime
Minister Sheikh Hasina.
He urged BNP to accept the truth and not to try to distort the real
history.
BKL general secretary Advocate Umme Kulsum Smriti and vice president Sheikh
Mohammad Jahangir Alam, among others, addressed the discussion with its
president agriculturist Samir Chanda in the chair.
After the discussion, the minister cut a cake with BKL leaders and
distributed fertilizer among the farmers.
Later, Hasan joined a doa-mahfil at National Baitul Mukarram Mosque after
Johr prayers.
