Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday urged the people to work unitedly to free the nation from the stigma of illiteracy and poverty.
She also said that conspiracy by the anti-liberation forces is still on to foil the nation’s endeavor towards development and prosperity.
“But I am sure, the conspirators will be failed and the patriotic people will win like 1971 liberation war,” she said while addressing a seminar marking the historic 7 March Speech of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Memorial Trust arranged the seminar titled “ Time-winning Speech of 7 March is an endless inspiration for the nation,” held at Osmani Memorial Auditorium in the morning. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina as the president of the trust chaired the seminar.
She said even after 40 years of independence, Bangladesh still could not attain cent percent literacy rate and eradicate poverty. “If we can march forward taking lessons from the 7 March speech, we can attain our cherished goals,” she said.
Hasina said she is ready to make any sacrifice to attain economic emancipation of the nation. The Prime Minister was highly critical of the previous governments for “distorting” true history of the liberation war.
