Dhaka, August 8, 2021: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said her mother Begum Fazilatunnesa Mujib had the same dream like Bangabandhu to see the indepenmdence of the country.
She was always vigilant and far-sighted in the struggle for the rights of the Bengalis with the expectation that the people of this country would lead a beautiful life and live well.
That is why, like an ordinary Bengali woman, she is busy with her husband, family and relatives, but she has played a unique role in the great freedom struggle, liberation war and post-independence reconstruction of Bangladesh.
She made the remarks in a message on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Bangamata Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib on Sunday (August 8th).
The Prime Minister said the majestic woman Fazilatunnesa Mujib was born on August 8, 1930 in an aristocratic Muslim family in Tungipara, Gopalganj district.
She lost his father at the age of 3 and his mother at the age of 5.
She was brought up by Bangabandhu's parents and his grandfather married him to his cousin Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib.
The architect of independent Bangladesh, Fazilatunnesa Mujib, wife of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, has made an outstanding contribution to the formation of the country and the nation as a worthy and faithful companion beside her dying husband.
The Prime Minister said Bangamata made a significant contribution to the political success of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib.
The 'Father of the Nation' was often imprisoned for political reasons. During this difficult time, she has made important contributions to the management of Bangladesh Awami League, including the release of her husband from the Himalayas; On the other hand, she has played an important role in taking the struggle for independence and liberation to the right goal by providing inspiration, strength and courage to the family and children.
She made a strong contribution to the 6-point and 11-point movement.
She faced the situation with unlimited patience, courage and prudence in spite of deep uncertainty and apprehension about the life and death of her imprisoned husband in Pakistan during the war of liberation in 1971.
She said his contribution to the history of Bangladesh's independence and liberation struggle will be forever remembered.
After independence, he devoted himself to building a war-torn country with Bangabandhu. In particular, he arranged for the treatment of abused mothers and sisters and took the initiative to establish them socially. Due to her immense sacrifice, cooperation and prudence for the country and the nation, the nation has rightly awarded her the title of 'Bangamata'.
