Speakers at a discussion yesterday called upon the government to include life and works of slain Awami League leader SAMS Kibria in textbooks so that the future generation can know about this great son of the soil.
They also urged the government to honour Kibria who had laid down his life for the cause of the nation.
The discussion meeting was organised at Baidderbazar Government Primary School playground in Habiganj in observance of the killing of Kibria and others four years ago.
President of Shaheed Kibria Smiriti Foundation and Shaheed Shah Manzurul Huda Smiriti Foundation, Syed Ahmadul Haque, also chairman-elect of Habiganj sadar upazila, chaired the meeting while vice-chairman of sadar upazila parishad Abidur Rahman and ex-chairman of Habiganj Pourasava Shahid Uddin Chowdhury spoke on the occasion.
After the meeting, the organisers placed wreaths at a memorial on the playground where Kibria along with four others were killed in a grenade attack on January 27, 2005.
A milad mahfil was also held and special prayers were offered for the salvation of the departed souls.
