Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today hoped that the new
generation will forward the country cherishing the ideology of Bangabandhu
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as she unveiled the cover of 11 books on life and works
of the Father of the Nation.
"I believe the new generation will take the country
forward being imbued with the ideology of Bangabandhu," she said.
The prime minister virtually joined the cover unveiling
ceremony of the books from her official Ganabhaban residence here.
The National Implementation Committee for the Father of the
Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's Birth Centenary Celebration
organized the function at the International Mother Language Institute in the
city.
The new generation could know the real history of
Bangabandhu, the struggle for independence and the Liberation War through the
11 books published on Mujib Borsho, she added.
"If the publications continue, the people, particularly
the new generation, will know many things about the Liberation War to be
patriots and take the country forward being inspired with Bangabandhu's life
and works," she added.
The premier also handed "Bangabandhu Scholars"
scholarship over to 13 students and "Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Quiz"
competition award to 100 winners, which were organised marking the Mujib
Borsho.
Sheikh Hasina said attempts were made time and again to
erase the name of the Father of the Nation from the history of the Liberation
War and Language Movement after Bangabandhu's assassination in 1975.
Even, the history of the Liberation War's victory and
Language Movement had been changed and it continued for 21 years, she said,
adding that for this reason, several generations are deprived of knowing the
real history of the Liberation War.
"It is the biggest thing that the new generation will know
many things (about the real history of Bangabandhu, the Liberation War and the
Language Movement) through the publications," she continued.
The prime minister said the new generation could know
Bangabandhu's life-long dedication to change the fate of the distressed people
facing inhuman torture for 24 years through reading these books.
Of the 11 books, Sheikh Hasina herself edited the book
written on Bangabandhu titled "Voice of Millions" (Koti Manusher
Kanthosar).
On behalf of the prime minister, Jatiya Sangsad Speaker Dr
Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury handed over the "Bangabandhu Scholars"
scholarship to 13 students and "Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Quiz"
competition award to 10 out of 100 winners.
The scholarship awardees received a cheque of Tk 3 lakh,
crest and a certificate while the quiz winners got a laptop each.
Jatiya Sangsad Speaker Dr Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury,
Education Minister Dr Dipu Moni and Convener of the International Publication
and Translation Sub Committee, Prof Dr Fakhrul Alam, spoke at the function.
Recorded speech of former Finance Minister Dr Abul Maal
Abdul Muhith was broadcast at the function.
Chief Coordinator of the National Implementation Committee
for Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's 100th Birth
Anniversary Celebration gave a welcome address.
At the outset of the programme, the theme song of the Mujib
Borsho was played.
