Get prepared to make sacrifice for people
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday asked the Chhatra League men to build themselves with the mentality to sacrifice for better serving the people.
“Stay above personal demands and gains, hold the mentality of sacrifice, follow the path of ideology and keep up the ideology of Chhatra League to build yourselves for giving something to the people of this country so that the departed soul of the father of the nation can rest in peace,” she said.
The PM was addressing a discussion, organised by the BCL at the Gono Bhaban, marking the National Mourning Day.
She said if anyone wants to build himself as a worthy soldier of Bangabandhu’s ideology, that person must work as a dedicated activist like him to work for the country and its people.
“The father of the nation had served the country and its people sacrificing everything in his life. We have to take a vow to work for the country and its people.”
Hasina said all have to think how much they gave to the country and its people for which Bangabandhu sacrificed his life.
She said nobody can become a true leader without an ideology and principle. “One may become a leader temporarily, but that leadership can’t give anything to the country and the nation.”
The PM said gaining the love and trust of the people is the biggest achievement for any political leader. “And Bangabandhu had achieved that for which the people of the country as well as the world still remember him.”
She said Bangabandhu’s killers not only killed him, but also wanted to make Bangladesh a failed state by erasing the country’s history.
Hasina mentioned that conspirators killed Bangabandhu as he liberated Bangladesh and put the war-ravaged country on a strong footing in just three and a half years.
“Had Bangabandhu been alive, the country would have been a developed and prosperous one in just 10 years. It would have been turned into ‘Sonar Bangla’ free from hunger and poverty. This was his lifelong dream.”
Highlighting the sacrifice of her mother Bangamata Fazilatunnesa Mujib, the PM said, “My mother lived a simple life. She did so even after Bangabandhu became the prime minister.”
Praising the role of Chhatra League in all previous political movements, she said all the successes of the people came through the sacrifices of BCL men.
BCL President Rezwanul Haque Chowdhury Shovon and General Secretary Golam Rabbani, among others, spoke on the occasion.At the programme, a one-minute silence was observed to show respect to the victims of the August 15 massacre.
