Bangabandhu Cultural Alliance
A discussion on the occasion of National Mourning Day organised by Bangabandhu Cultural Alliance was held at the Jatiya Press Club. Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud was present as the chief guest in the programme held recently. While speaking Hasan said the BNP leaders drowned in absolute frustration are talking nonsense. Responding to a statement of BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir that the ruling Awami League does not believe in the spirit of the Liberation War, Hasan said the name of the party, which led the country’s liberation war, the struggle for independence and the way to the independence, is the Awami League. He said the BNP leaders held meetings with those who chanted the slogan “We are all Talibans, Bangla would be Afghan” and they now stated the Awami League does not have the spirit of Liberation War. The question is that whether they have any consciousness or not, he added. Executive President of the organisation Rafiqul Alam presided over the event. The function was also addressed, among others, by General Secretary of the alliance Arun Sarkar Rana, its Deputy Publicity Secretary Aminul Islam Amin, former General Secretary of Dhaka City South AL Shahe Alam Murad, AL leaders Advocate Balram Poddar and MA Karim, Film Director Mushfiqur Rahman Gulzar, actresses Tarin Jahan and Aruna Biswas.
