Bangabandhu first dreamt of freedom

Industries Minister Dilip Barua said Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman first envisaged country's independence and the leader shaped his dreams through a lifelong struggle.
"The statehood of Bangla-desh would never come true if Sheikh Mujib was not born", he said at a discussion organised by Bangabandhu Krishi Parishad (BKP) marking the National Mourning Day at Krishibid Institution premises at Farmgate yesterday.
Dilip Barua, general secretary of Samyabadi Dal, a coalition partner of the Awami League led present government, said Bangabandhu spearheaded all national movements towards freedom of the nation and mobilised people for War of Liberation.
"I have heard proclamation of independence from none except Bangabandhu before March 25, 1971," he said.
