A programme titled ‘Listen to the History of Freedom’ organised by ‘Amra Manush Foundation’was held in the city’s BAF Shaheen School recently. Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu was present as the chief guest. While speaking Inu said that the land and water of Bangladesh is written in the blood of martyrs, the sound of gun fire and the voice of a persecuted people. Inu said that the country’s liberation was attained by the great leadership of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. He also said that millions of martyrs, the cries of the many more who were persecuted and the women that were tortured created the tapestry that is independent Bangladesh. He paid his tributes to all those who had sacrificed for the freedom of the motherland. Inu told the students there were people against us also during the Liberation War. Some criminals had dared to betray the nation and collaborated with the occupying Pakistani forces. He said that these collaborators were the ones who had now turned into militants. He asked the children to hate them and also refuse the allure of drugs. The programme was also addressed, among others, by Rashek Rahman, the organizer of the function, Ali Hasan Alam, Managing Director of PRAN Group and other eminent citizens. Principal of the school Group Captain Mohammad Ahsan presided over the event.
