<i>I won't have food at Bangabhaban if FFs' children go hungry </i>

Chairman of the Regulatory Reforms Commission Dr Akbar Ali Khan yesterday said he would never have food at Bangabhaban if the children of freedom fighters continue to starve.
"On March 26, a freedom fighter's wife came to Bangabhaban to collect leftovers. As a freedom fighter, I cannot tolerate such thing. If the children of freedom fighters go hungry, I'll never take food at Bangabhaban," he said in a voice chocked with emotion.
Dr Akbar said this while addressing the premiere of a telefilm titled 'Sidr Tragedy- 2007' at Dhaka Reporters Unity (DRU).
He said the government is just like a 'mother'. "Then why the poor and the freedom fighters' children will go hungry?”
About the telefilm on Sidr, he said it would help the people know about the extent of the destruction caused by the cyclone in the southeastern districts.
Dr Akbar also said the government has failed to take adequate measures to reconstruct the infrastructure and improve the lifestyle of the people in Sidr-hit areas.
Chairman of the Seventh Wage Board Justice Habibur Rahman Khan, FBCCI director Kamal Uddin Ahmed, freedom fighter Mustafa Allama, sports personality Kutubuddin Aksir and director of the film Saiful Islam Talukder were present at the premiere.
