PM greets FFs with gifts on Victory Day
DHAKA, Dec 16, 2019 (BSS) – Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today greeted
all Freedom Fighters (FFs) of the country on the occasion of the 49th Victory
Day.
Like the previous years, the premier sent flowers, fruits and sweetmeats
to the freedom fighters (FFs) at Martyred and War-wounded Freedom Fighters’
Rehabilitation Centre (Muktijoddha Tower-1) on Gaznavi Road at Mohammadpur in
the city as a mark of her good wishes for them.
Officials of the Prime Minister’s Office led by PM’s Protocol Officer-1
SM Khurshid-ul-Alam, Deputy Press Secretary Hasan Zahid Tusher, Assistant
Private Secretary (APS) Gazi Hafizur Rahman Liku, Protocol Officer-2 Abu
Zafar Razu and Assistant Press Secretary MM Emrul Kayas handed over these
items to the FFs this afternoon.
The Freedom Fighters thanked and expressed gratitude to the prime
minister for remembering them on every national day and festival like the
Independence Day, the Victory Day, Eid and Pahela Baishakh.
They also wished Sheikh Hasina good health and long life.
The nation is celebrating the 49th Victory Day today marking the most
precious day when the country was liberated from the Pakistani occupation
forces after a nine-month-long War of Liberation.
Forty-eight years back on December 16 in 1971, Bangladesh was born as an
independent country under the leadership of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and for the supreme sacrifice of three million martyrs
and the honour of two lakh mothers and sisters.
