Undefeated Bangladesh set foot in 52. Our beloved motherland. Sonar Bangla of life. The rise of Bangladesh was a wonder of the world. The father of the nation dreamed of an independent sovereign Bangladesh in 1947. In the Baker Hostel. He sacrificed his life for freedom. Woke up the people of the country. He accepted all oppression, including imprisonment and torture with a smile. The father of the nation himself is like the reflection of Bangladesh. The persecution of him and the exploitation and deprivation of Pakistanis by Bengalis are tied in the same thread. Bangabandhu has moved forward on the path of building Bangladesh from a specific political plan. In 1966, many considered the six points to be unrealistic political aspirations. No one but the people was on his side. Even many big leaders of his favorite organization Awami League did not have the support in six points. But Bangabandhu sang the song of awakening with the youth. Presenting the image of discrimination, he threw the question in front of the Pakistanis - why Sonar Bangla crematorium? He taught the people of Bangladesh to dream. He ran from one end to the other to show that there is no alternative to freedom. When Bangabandhu was arrested in the Agartala case, scholars saw the end of Sheikh Mujib. Most of the leaders of the Awami League counted the veil of Awami League politics. When Sheikh Mujib was released on parole and invited to the round table. Even then almost all the leaders of Awami League wanted to walk the path of compromise. But Bangamata Sheikh Fazilatun Nesha Mujib alone stood as a wall of resistance against compromise. Sheikh Mujib became Bangabandhu because of her perseverance and inflexibility. Bangabandhu flew the flag of independence through the mass uprising of '69. With his political prudence and foresight, he can be seen as the best politician of all time in history. He did not become a separatist. With his landslide victory in the elections of '70, he told the Pakistani junta what he wanted, what the people of Bengal wanted. Then the Pakistanis' procrastination and refusal to hand over power made the people of Bangladesh stand on the brink of liberation. On March 25, 1971, the invading forces of Pakistan carried out the most brutal massacre on the unarmed Bengalis. They thought that by indiscriminate killing, rape and arson perhaps the Bengali nation could be silenced forever. But the Pakistani giants did not consider Sheikh Mujib's hypnotic political power. Bangabandhu prepared his war strategy from the moment of his unprecedented victory in the elections of ’70. Bangabandhu outlined how to fight, get India's cooperation and outline people's war. In his speech on March 7, he presented the basic vision of Bangabandhu's war strategy to the nation. He called upon the people to form 'Sangram Parishad' under the leadership of Awami League in every village and mahalla and get ready with whatever they had. In this speech, Bangabandhu further requested to build forts in every house. You have to deal with the enemy with whatever you have, he said. Mainly, after the election of '70, the whole of Bangladesh came under the rule of Bangabandhu. And that is why the peasants, laborers, workers, students, young people, wearing lungi-towels, stopped one of the best armed forces in the world. The Father of the Nation gifted an independent state to the Bengali nation. This freedom is bought with a lot of blood. In 1947, how many thought that Bangladesh would take its place on the world map as an independent sovereign state? After March 25, how many scholars understood that on 16th December, Damal children of the nation will liberate Mujib's Bengal? The two largest superpowers in the world, the United States and China were against Bangladesh. So what? The Bengali nation has snatched independence by making a lot of sacrifices. The father of the nation has won. The Bengali nation has won. The Father of the Nation has given us identity, territory, flag.

The dream of the father of the nation had two parts. The first part was the rise of the state of Bangladesh. The dream of the father of the nation had two parts. The first part was the rise of the state of Bangladesh. The second part was a dignified, self-reliant, non-discriminatory, non-communal happy nation. A self-reliant Bangladesh. Until '75, the Father of the Nation was working to build such a state. But the defeated forces of '71 started a new conspiracy after independence. Its final form was on August 15, 1975. Bangladesh lost its way after that most horrible incident in history. The black clouds of despair and failure filled the sky of Bengal. Bangladesh became known in the world as a dreamless, impoverished, beggar state. Henry Kissinger's 'bottomless basket' seems to be the destiny of Bangladesh. Hunger, famine, poverty seems to be the destination of Bangladesh. Democracy and human rights were crushed under the boots and the dictatorial monsters were playing a vicious game of making Bangladesh Pakistan again. A hopeless, directionless Bangladesh.

From there, the story of Bangladesh turning around also defeats the fairy tale. And the hero of the fairy tale is Sheikh Hasina. Just as Sheikh Mujib has gradually become the father of the nation from Bangabandhu, so too Sheikh Hasina has gradually become a statesman from a public leader. From statesman to world leader. The father of the nation is the architect of Bangladesh. He painted the image of Bangladesh. And Sheikh Hasina is the master builder of building the Bangladesh of the dream of the father of the nation. Sheikh Hasina has Bangabandhu's dreams in her heart. She has worked to implement that dream. And that’s why Bangladesh is a wonder of the world today. Role model of development. Bangladesh is making irresistible progress. This has been possible due to the tireless work and extraordinary leadership of Sheikh Hasina.

Fortunately for Bangladesh, this 52-year-old country has got two outstanding leaders. Recognized as one of the best leaders in the world in their time. Bangladesh has been holding the hands of two leaders since its independence. Creating a state requires a leader who is ahead of his time. Who sees the future before his eyes. Whom the people trust, respect and love. We have got freedom under the leadership of such a leader. His name is Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. In the same way, a nation needs a leader in its development, progress and advancement. That leader shows people dreams. He realizes the dream. Who is brave and self-confident. Whom people trust, love and respect. One such leader is Sheikh Hasina. No need to go too far. The difference between the Bangladesh of 2008 and today's Bangladesh shows how Sheikh Hasina has made the impossible possible. How a self-respecting nation has been built. But Sheikh Hasina's war is not over yet. In ’71 the Father of the Nation was victorious. This victory was against various adversities and conspiracies outside the house. Even after independence, the conspiracy of anti-independence forces continued. All the possible attempts were made to tarnish the three-and-a-half-year rule of Bangabandhu. From lies to murders, cowardly incidents of arson - all mischievous have been made. Everything from the heinous activities of the masses and the proletariat to the fire in the jute warehouse has been part of the conspiracy. These were not anti Awami League government impropriety. These were actually part of a conspiracy to destroy Bangladesh.

Today, when Bangladesh is moving forward, I am looking at that old conspiracy anew. The anti-independence forces are playing that old game again. Even after so much achievement, so much attainment someone is spreading a sigh of despair in the air of Bengal. First, the political opponents wanted to destabilize the country through looting and arson. Second, the murderous Mushtaqs, who were lurking inside the Awami League, wanted to make the government controversial and questionable in certain activities. Third, the civil-controlled masses were spreading lies against the Bangabandhu government. Fourth, a deep conspiracy was hatched against Bangabandhu in the international arena. The events of August 15, 1975 were the result of this four-pronged approach. Today we see the same four-pronged conspiracy in Bangladesh. The country's opposition political parties are not on the path of democratic movement.  They are not even walking on the road to election. Instead, the opposition parties are desperate to debate the democratic process and institutions. They have hired lobbyists to protest against the government. The spread of lies has spread through social media. Militant, extremist political parties are being incited for sabotage. Incidents like the Hefazat riots on March 26 last year and the attack on the Puja Mandap are just like the replicas of '72 to '75. The second part of the conspiracy is within the Awami League. Today, the Awami League is restless due to the sudden oppression of the Awami League. Some ministers-mayors spoke as if they came from an alien planet. Their irresponsible, incoherent talk has become a cause of public annoyance. They seem to be desperate to tarnish all the achievements of the government. Apparently, they may seem incompetent. But if we analyze a little deeper, it can be easily understood that they are like Mushtaq. There is no shortage of their efforts to make the government unpopular. In some places, actions are being taken against these fake newly Awami League, but in most cases, they are becoming the cause of ruin. In the third part are our most revered civilized people. Their heart aches in the achievement and progress of Bangladesh. Increase in per capita income, increase in average life expectancy, relief in the economy, none of these are seen by them. Their eyes are stuck on how long the TCB line is and who went there. Our civil servants are so worried about the disappearance that they can't sleep. In the words of the civil servants, it seems that disappearance is the main problem of the country. When Sheikh Hasina spread 100% electricity all over the country, the so called gentlemen of this country did not show any courtesy to thank her. But before, when there was load shedding for hours, there was no lack of complain from them. When all the homeless people are being given houses, there is no excitement. But when one or two houses are broken, they are filled with joy. There are many such examples. Our civil society, interested in the pursuit of disappointment and failure, has returned to the same form. And the international community is in the fourth part of the conspiracy. Those who want to see Bangladesh on its knees as beggars. Why Bangladesh is happy? Why the festival of development in Bangladesh? Bangladesh is now seriously feeling the jealousy of the big countries. They are very unhappy about why Bangladesh is not kneeling in front of them. And the expression of this anger is seen occasionally. Questioning the human rights situation in a country that has sheltered one million Rohingya year after year is an extreme irony. Conspiracies like '75 are encircling Bangladesh from all sides. Many are worried. Many are apprehensive. But on this day of independence, one thing comes to my mind again and again, Bangladesh of '75 and today's Bangladesh is not the same. Sheikh Hasina has done a very skillful job, which is to awaken the inner strength of the Bengalis. Now people dream of touching the sky. They want to develop themselves. Sheikh Hasina has taken herself to a unique height as a single leader. Sheikh Hasina is our greatest achievement in post-75 Bangladesh. The government has mistaken, it has failed. Some people are complaining about being in power for a long time. There is also arrogance. But there is Sheikh Hasina in contrast. A human being. Who always thinks of the welfare of the people. Sheikh Hasina's worst enemy in Bangladesh also knows that there is no alternative of Sheikh Hasina at the moment. Bangladesh is safe in his hands as long as she lives. By overthrowing the conspiracy and the power of the grassroots the father of the nation has flown the victory flag. Those who wanted to erase his name have been thrown into the trash of history. Even after 51 years of independence, Sheikh Mujib is immortal, bright and radiant. He is the victorious hero. Similarly, Sheikh Hasina will also not lose. By thwarting these conspiracies, she will take Bangladesh to the destination of Bangabandhu’s dreams.
