Jatiya Sramik League
A rally marking the UNESCO recognition to the historic 7th March Speech of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as part of the world’s documentary heritage organised by Jatiya Sramik League was held in front of the Awami League (AL) central office in the city’s Bangabandhu Avenue. AL General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader was present as the chief guest in the programme held recently. While speaking Quader urged BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia to correct herself before asking others to do so but feared nothing could rectify BNP’s misdeeds. “History of BNP politics is of killings, arson attacks and looting. Khaleda Zia has committed numerous sins . . . nothing can purify her now,” he added. About the speech of Bangabandhu, the minister said after the assassination of Bangabandhu on August 15, 1975, a ban was imposed on playing the 7th March speech of Bangabandhu on state-run radio and television.”But the fiery speech of Bangabandhu has now become a property of the world,” he added.
