Dhaka South City Corporation Mayor Sayed Khokon said, “A person like the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman can be killed, but his ideology can’t be eliminated. All of us have to take lesson from the life and works of Bangabandhu.”
He urged all to get united by following the ideals of Bangabandhu against all kinds of terrorism and militancy.
As the chief guest, the mayor said this at a discussion meeting on Bangabandhu’s life and works marking August 15, the National Mourning Day, held in the central ground of Government Kabi Nazrul College on Wednesday. The college unit of the Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) organised it to commemorate Bangabandhu’s 41st death anniversary.
“When the government came to the power led by Bangabandhu and started relentless efforts to fulfill the dreams and expectations of the people of the newly liberated country, a vested quarter viciously killed him to destroy his dream for Sonar Bangla and to cripple our beloved country”, Sayed Khokon said.
He also said that after achieving significant advancement in the field of economy and society, the government led by Bangabandhu’s daughter Sheikh Hasina played proactive role to further accelerate the country’s economic growth and lift the country’s present economic status as developed one by 2021.
“Bangladesh is a country of immense prospects and it will not be possible for us to elevate the economy into a new height if we do not work hard to fulfill the dream of Bangabandhu”, said Khokon.
The mayor warned all against the conspiracy of the war-collaborators, who are still trying to engineer their plans to halt the country’s progress.
Principal of the college Professor Dr Nurunnahar, BCL central President Sayfur Rahman Sohag and General Secretary Jakir Hossain, among others, spoke in the programme.
The college unit President Mamunur Rashid Mamun presided over and its General Secretary Rakib Hassan Sohel conducted the programme.
