“Be patriot like him. Follow his ideals when you grow up,” she said. The state minister was speaking at a gathering of children at the Bangla Academy’s Nazrul Podium on the occasion of the 99th birth day of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Tarana said “Bangabandhu was a very brave person, who fought for people’s right even when he was a student. That’s why he had to suffer imprisonment several times.”
In total he spent 14 years in prison and that is why we have an independent country and an independent flag, she said.
