An analysis of the 23-year movement-struggle led by Bangabandhu shows that the Pakistani colonial rulers identified the Awami League as a party and Sheikh Mujib as its leader as enemy number one. Therefore, from the beginning of the language movement in 1948 to the liberation war, the Pakistani rulers were active in implementing the conspiracy to kill Awami League and Bangabandhu. However, the conspiracy was defeated by the united struggle of Bengalis under the wise and tactful leadership of Bangabandhu.
The realization of independent-sovereign Bangladesh took place through nine months of armed struggle under the leadership of Awami League. The defeated enemies of the liberation war started a new conspiracy in independent Bangladesh. Their goals were also almost identical. Killing Bangabandhu and its leaders to make Awami League, the leading party of the liberation war, void of leadership and make Bangladesh a new Pakistan. As part of the execution of the conspiracy, Bangabandhu was killed in his family on 15 August 1975 and four national leaders in jail on 3 November. The country is plunged into the pitch black darkness of anarchy. Directly and indirectly, military and semi-democratic rulers ruled the country for 21 years sharing power with the anti-independence forces. Send democracy into exile. To stay in power, they choose the politics of murder, assassination and conspiracy. In such a suffocating situation and misrule, Bangabandhu's daughter Jannetri Deshratna Sheikh Hasina, who survived the 75 murders, returned to the country in 1981 and took the helm of Awami League. Awami League's street movement against dictatorship gained great momentum.
The autocracy came to an end through the movement under the wise leadership of popular leader Sheikh Hasina. Democracy re-established Bengali's right to rice and vote. In the 1996 elections, the people of the country trusted Sheikh Hasina. Awami League formed the government after winning the election under his leadership. In the first term of power for five years (1996-2001) and three consecutive terms since 2009, well-planned economic activities have brought smiles to the faces of the suffering people of Bengal. The country has become self-sufficient in food. The trial of the murderers of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu and the murderous anti-humanity war criminals of 1971 have been completed and the verdict has been executed. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's leadership, competence, dedication, talent, creativity, liberal democratic vision and foresight, Bangladesh is the wonder of the world today. Infrastructure, agriculture, education, health, social security, information and communication technology, power and energy, marine, there is no sector where milestones have not been achieved.

Sheikh Hasina's life is a colorful struggle. He remained under house arrest for nine months of the liberation war. Despite the fall of the military dictatorship, he had to suffer imprisonment and house arrest several times. At least 21 attempts have been made to kill him. Returning from the door of death again and again, the dying freeman remained steadfast in achieving his goal with infinite courage even at the risk of his life. Bangabandhu's life's vow is to build a happy and prosperous golden Bangladesh in the spirit of the liberation war. This fearless noble woman, public leader Sheikh Hasina has turned 75 today.

Like Bangabandhu, his privileged daughter is an unstoppable warrior for the younger generation. He has become a beacon of youth through the implementation of Digital Bangladesh. The youth of Bengal are now getting the opportunity to make themselves more efficient by using the power of the Internet.
After Bangabandhu, the 18 years of leader Sheikh Hasina's leadership is the golden period in Bangladesh's history, which continues today.
