Bangabandhu’s killing aimed at reversing independence: AL leaders
RANGPUR, Sept 01, 2018 (BSS) – Leaders of Awami League (AL) and its
associate bodies at a mourning discussion here have said the defeated anti-
liberation forces killed Bangabandhu and most of his family members aiming at
reversing independence.
Assassinations of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman
and most of his family members on August 15 and grenade attacks on August 21
were parts of continuous deep-rooted conspiracies to make the Bangalee nation
leaderless, they said.
Rangpur Sadar Upazila AL organised the discussion on Paglapeer Central
Eidgah ground on Friday night to pay homage to martyrs of August 15 and
August 21 in observance of the National Mourning Day- 2018 and 43rd martyrdom
anniversary of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Convener of Sadar Upazila AL Emdadul Haque Dulu presided over the event. A
huge number of leaders and activists of the district, city, upazila and union
units of AL and its associate bodies, wearing black badges, took part in the
programme.
Acting president of district AL Mamtaz Uddin Ahmed addressed the discussion
as the chief guest.
General secretary of the district AL Advocate Rezaul Karim Raju delivered
keynote speech on the conspiracies being hatched by the defeated anti-
liberation forces since assassination of Bangabandhu on August 15, 1975.
President of city AL Shafiur Rahman Shafi, joint general secretary of the
district AL Shahinur Rahman Sohel, its Organising Secretary Motahar Hossain
Mandal Mowla, Publicity and Publication Secretary Rosy Rahman and Office
Secretary Tauhidur Rahman Tutul and other AL leaders addressed.
The speakers blamed the BNP-Jamaat clique and anti-liberation forces for
hatching conspiracies one after another since the assassinations of
Bangabandhu and most of his family members to destroy independence and hinder
national advancement.
Advocate Raju focused on the life, works, life-long struggles, sacrifices
and contribution of Bangabandhu. He put stress on working unitedly for
building an exploitation-free developed Sonar Bangla as dreamt by Bangabandhu
to pay due respect to him.
Shafiur Rahman Shafi demanded unveiling masks of the masterminds of August
15 assassinations and bringing back Bangabandhu’s all absconding killers for
execution of the court’s verdict to free the nation from the decades-old
stigma.
Mamtaz Uddin Ahmed called upon leaders and activists of AL and its
associate bodies to remain united for foiling the conspiracies being hatched
against the country by the BNP-Jamaat clique and anti-liberation forces to
hinder the national development process.
