BSS, Dhaka :
Prime Minister (PM) Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday said that her government would fully honour the people’s huge mandate which her party secured in the election as she issued a message commemorating Bangabandhu’s Homecoming Day 47 years ago.
“The people made Bangladesh Awami League victorious in the recent 11th parliamentary election. We will fully honour their huge mandate,” she said in her message on the eve of the Homecoming Day of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman from captivity in Pakistan in 1972.
The premier added: “We will turn Bangladesh into a middle-income country by 2021 and a developed one by 2041, InshaAllah.”
Mentioning that the January 10 is one of the memorable days in the history of the liberation struggle of the Bangali, Sheikh Hasina said the greatest Bangali, Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, returned to independent Bangladesh on the 10 January of 1972 after over nine and a half months’ captivity in a Pakistan jail.
“The Pakistani occupation forces launched brutal attacks on the innocent Bangalis and carried out massacre on the night of the 25 March in 1971. Bangabandhu declared Independence of Bangladesh at the first hour of the 26 March,” she added.
Just after his declaration of the independence, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was arrested and subsequently sent to a solitary confinement in Pakistani jail, the premier
said, adding that he (Bangabandhu)was subjected to inhuman torture in the jail where he had been counting moments for being executed after his death sentence was pronounced in a farcical trial.
Even in the face of imminent death, he rejoiced the spirit of the Bangali nation, she said, adding “He was the inspiration of the freedom fighters. Under his undisputed leadership, the Bangali nation earned the ultimate victory waging the 9-month war”.
The defeated Pakistani rulers were compelled to free Bangabandhu, Sheikh Hasina said, adding that the Bangali Nation got back the Father of the Nation and their victory attained the fulfilment.
