Sheikh Hasina None can remove Bangabandhu's name now: Sheikh Hasina
Dhaka, May 15, 2022: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said that the name of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman has been repeatedly removed from history and thus the nation has been deprived of knowing the true history after 1975.
"It simply came to our notice then. The new generation is very much aware of history," she said.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina made the remarks while laying the foundation stone of 'Mujib Library' at Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Memorial Trust at Dhanmondi 32 on Saturday. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her younger sister Sheikh Rehana, two daughters of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, jointly unveiled the plaque.
Later, Deputy Press Secretary to the Prime Minister KM Sakhawat Moon briefed reporters.
Sheikh Hasina said the library of Bangabandhu Memorial Trust will help the new generation to know the real history and country of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the greatest Bengali of all time. He said the freedom fighters had stopped the trial of the murderers of the father of the nation by issuing an indemnity ordinance after 1975.
She said the Awami League government, after coming to power, withdrew the Indemnity Ordinance and freed the nation from stigma by bringing the murderers to justice.
The Prime Minister said her only goal was to create a happy and prosperous golden Bengal of the dream of the father of the nation and bring smiles on the faces of the people. Bangabandhu's grandson Radwan Mujib Siddique was present at the time.
