Applauding highly of the leadership of Bangabandhu in earning an independent country, Information Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud said architect of the Bangalee nation state Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was not solely the leader of Bangladesh, rather a global leader.
“The Bangalee nation has achieved the independence under the leadership of Bangabandhu and established the state through struggles. That’s why he (Bangabandhu) has been adored as the greatest Bangalee of all times and our Father of the Nation,” he said.
The minister came up with these remarks on Monday while addressing the premiere show of a documentary titled ‘Bangabandhur Rajnoitik Jibon o Bangladesher Abhuday’ made by Bengal Multimedia Studio in city’s Tejgaon area.
Hasan said there was no state for Bangalees for thousands of years. “Many tried to get independence. But they could not achieve it. Even, the language of the last Nawab of Bangla Siraj ud-Daulah was not Bangla. The nation had achieved the independence under the leadership of Bangabandhu,” he added.
He said Bangabandhu was rebuilding a war-torn country and leading Bangladesh on the path to prosperity after the independence.
The minister said the conspirators, who didn’t want the independence, had brutally killed Bangabandhu along with his most of family members when he was leading the country for its advancement after bringing back one crore homeless people from India, with another two crore refugees inside the country, a broken communication system and a country with zero foreign reserves.
The assassination of Bangabandhu was not only meant for killing him (Bangabandhu) rather the conspiracy of killing the independence of the Bangalee nation, said Hasan, also Awami League Joint General Secretary.
“When Bangabandhu was assassinated in 1975, the country’s GDP growth was 7.4 percent. Even after 40 years of his assassination, we could not exceed that growth rate. Bangladesh exceeded 7.4 percent GDP growth in fiscal 2016-17 under the leadership of Bangabandhu’s daughter Sheikh Hasina,” he added.
