After placing wreath on the portrait of Bangabandhu at the CCC office near Tigerpass on Wednesday, the mayor said that on January 10, 1972, the father of the independent Bengali nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, was released from Pakistan prison and returned to his homeland. After returning home, Bangabandhu announced the creation of an ideal state in a large public meeting.
He formulated the constitution just one year after the independence of the country. His inspiring presence inspired the nation to rebuild the war-torn country.
The fact that we people of all religions are living together today is possible because of Bangabandhu's non-communal spirit. As the foundation of the country was laid by the hands of Bangabandhu, the religious freedom of the people of all religions was ensured. No one should be deprived of any state facilities due to differences in religion, caste, gender. Today we do not have Bangabandhu among us, but if we continue to work under the leadership of Sheikh Hasina, then we will soon achieve a hunger-free and poverty-free Golden Bangla by ignoring all obstacles.”
