Bangladesh Hawaiian Guitar Shilpi Parishad
A music video CD made by Bangladesh Hawaiian Guitar Shilpi Parishad was unwrapped marking the golden jubilee of the country’s independence and the birth centenary of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud was present as the chief guest in the programme held recently at the seminar room of the ministry. While speaking Hasan said the all achievements of Bangalees came under the leadership of Awami League.
“In fact, the two names- independence of Bangladesh and Awami League are directly linked. Our struggle for the independence, the Liberation War and achieving the independence are under the leadership of Awami League,” he said. Hasan said the then drawing room-based politics reached to common people after the formation of AL on June 23 in 1949. At first, it was Awami Muslim League but later Awami League emerged as a non-communal party by deleting the word ‘Muslim’.
He said there was no constitution of Pakistan until the Awami League formed the central government in 1956. The first constitution was drafted under the leadership of Nikhil Pakistan Awami League President Shahid Suhrawardy, he added. The function was also addressed , among others, by Executive President of the parishad and eminent guitarist Hasanur Rahman and poet and researcher Aminur Rahman.
