Exhibition highlights AL’s journey of 70 years
Amid the festivity surrounding 21st National Council of Bangladesh Awami League (AL) in the last two days, a large influx of visitors also roamed at a corner of the historic Suhrawardy Udyan, dedicated to an exhibition on the party’s history.
Organised by the party’s research wing, Centre for Research and Information (CRI), the exhibition signified the lifelong struggle of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, apart from the heritage and history of AL.
There were ten exhibits under different themes such as -- walk with the leader, road to 21st council, light after darkness, face of ALBD, 7th of March, ALBD regional footprints, ALBD in front of a mirror, and quotes for future leadership.
In a session called “Let’s Tall”, members of younger generations were privileged to ask their questions and raise concerns directly to party leaders and government ministers.
“I have learnt a lot. It’s a very nice and well decorated council. I got the opportunity to ask my questions to the ministers,” Sanjida Khanom, a student of Dhaka University, told The Daily Star.
Photos of Bangladesh’s founding father Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, his daughter Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy were placed at the “walk with the leader” corner.
The “road to 21st council” board displayed the history of the party since birth, while the “light after darkness” segment showed the brutal killing of Bangabandhu and his family members on August 15, 1975.
The “7th of March” corner was decorated with quotes from Bangabandhu’s historic speech.
State Minister for Foreign Affairs Md Shahriar Alam; State Minister for ICT Zunaid Ahmed Palak; State Minister for Information Dr Murad Hasan; Fazilatunnesa Bappy MP, and Awami League’s publication and publicity wing’s Deputy Secretary Aminul Islam Amin took part in the youth engagement session moderated by Nahim Razzaq MP.
They called upon the youth to help the government realise its vision to be a poverty-free, developed country by 2041.
