Build ‘Sonar Bangla’ as dreamt by Bangabandhu

Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain yesterday suggested all work together to materialise the dream of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman for building the country as “Sonar Bangla”.

“The Father of the Nation had a dream to turn the country into Sonar Bangla. Our responsibility and target will be working to implement his dream. If it is done, his [Bangabandhu] departed soul will find peace,” he said.

He was speaking at a blood donation programme organised by the Supreme Court in association with Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University at the SC auditorium, marking National Mourning Day. Judges, officials and staff of SC attended the programme.

The chief justice said August 15 is the most shocking and watershed day in Bangladesh’s history, as Bangabandhu and most of his family members were brutally assassinated on the day in 1975. He paid respects to all those who were martyred that day.

Supreme Court Registrar General Dr Md Zakir Hossain also spoke on the occasion, among others.

Earlier in theday , the chief justice placed wreaths at Bangabandhu’s portrait in front of Bangabandhu Memorial Museum in Dhanmondi.
