UNB, Dhaka :
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday called for uprooting all the weeds from Awami League and its affiliate student body Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) to build the organisations with Bangabandhu’s ideals.
“You need to root out the weeds in your all works and build the organisations (AL, BCL) being the men of ideals and principle like Bangabandhu,” she said.
Sheikh Hasina, also the AL president, was speaking at a discussion meeting on Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and Bangamata Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre (BICC) in the city.
The Prime Minister said the collaborators and flatters of the defeated force are still there in the country. She mentioned that Bangabandhu in his write-up termed Bangladesh land very fertile where trees and weeds grow up so easily.
“But, the weeds devastate useful trees, we have to root out the weeds so that the useful trees could grow up easily,” the AL chief added. Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) organised the discussion with its president M Saifur Rahman Sohag in the chair. Awami League general secretary Syed Ashraful Islam, Prof Dr Sultana Shafi and Dr Fakhrul Alam of Dhaka University, among others, spoke on the occasion. BCL general secretary Jakir Hossain conducted the programme.
