Bangladesh was not on the right track like its rivers after assassination of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and his family members in 1975. Now, his daughter Sheikh Hasina brought the country on the right track from Ziaur Rahman’s announcement to ‘make politics difficult for the politicians’, State Minister for Shipping Khalid Mahmud Chowdhury on Saturday said while addressing a seminar at Jatiya Press Club.
He said that she has proved that everything can be possible if strong leadership can be ensured like Bangabandhu. Congenial atmosphere for saving rivers has been made by Sheikh Hasina. She has taken ‘zero tolerance’ policy against the illegal river grabbers.
Bangladesh Nodi Bachao Andolon (Save the River Movement, Bangladesh) organized the seminar titled as “river flow without pollution and encroachment’ marking International Day of Action for Rivers observed on the day across the world including Bangladesh.
Nodi Bachao Andolon Central President Prof Anwar Sadat chaired the seminar while river researcher Mahbub Siddiqui and Director of River Research Institute Dr. Lutfar Rahman presented two separate keynote papers.
