Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Sunday said not only the Bangladeshi women, but also the women of the entire world can follow the life of Bangamata Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib.
"I think, not only the women of our country, but also women of the world can follow the example of her life," she said, reports BSS.
The prime minister said, Bangamata was a person who sacrificed everything of her life for the independence of the nation, for the country and its people.
She said, this while addressing the opening ceremony of the two-day international conference titled "Bangamata: A Paragon of Women's Leadership and Nation-Building in Bangladesh" at Senate Building Auditorium in Dhaka University as the chief guest.
The premier joined the function virtually from her official residence Ganabhaban here.
Sheikh Hasina said the decision Bangamata gave about family and politics for the country was very much right - till the end she sacrificed her life.
"My mother sacrificed a lot. She had no demand in her life. She didn't want anything for herself. We didn't hear anything that she wanted for something of her own," the premier said.
Highlighting Bangamata's habit of living a simple life, she said, "Bangamata used to give away everything she had for the party, for the people, for the poor relatives."
