Bangladesh lost all potentials after Bangabandhu’s killing: PM
DHAKA, Aug 1, 2019 (BSS) – Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today said Bangladesh had lost all potentials and the ideology of the liberation war had been foiled after the assassination of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
“Through the August 15 barbaric killing, the ideology of the great liberation war had been foiled and we had lost everything, while Bangladesh had lost all possibilities,” she said.
The prime minister said this while inaugurating the blood donation programme and tree plantation drive of Bangladesh Krishak League at Dhanmondi in the capital through a teleconference from London this afternoon.
Sheikh Hasina said the 15th August is a black day for the Bangalee nation. “Personally I and Sheikh Rehana lost everything- father, mother and brothers … the 15th August brought a disaster in our personal life, while it also brought a disaster for Bangladesh,” she said.
The prime minister asked the party leaders and workers to serve the distressed humanity and said it is a responsibility of every person to serve them. “A great sacrifice is needed for a great achievement,” she said quoting Bangabandhu.
Sheikh Hasina also directed them to take proper steps to check mosquito breeding and protect themselves from the menace.
“I’ve already given various instructions to get rid of the impact of dengue. So I urge everybody to take proper measures by obeying my directives so that breeding of mosquito cannot take place,” she said.
The premier continued: “You’ll have to protect yourselves, your family and houses from the mosquitoes.”
