Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday asked the Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) men to build themselves as perfect leaders by moving forward with sacrificing minds leaving personal interest and greed, reports BSS.
She said, "If you (BCL) move ahead with sacrificing mind discarding personal interest and lust, you could establish yourselves as perfect leaders,"
Sheikh Hasina made the remarks while addressing a discussion in the city's Bangabandhu International Conference Center (BICC) as the chief guest.
BCL central executive committee organised the discussion marking the National Mourning Day and 47th martyrdom anniversary of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
The Awami League (AL) President, said, "If you want to make money and wealth unnecessarily, then you can't attain leadership quality, can't serve the country and can't give anything to the people".
Chhatra League leaders and activists will have to build themselves as true patriots in their future journey being imbued with the spirit of the Liberation War and the belief in non-communalism.
"Then, you can go in the right direction," she added.
Mentioning that money and wealth don't do anything in the time of necessity, Sheikh Hasina said the Covid-19 pandemic has shown us it as many wealthy people became helpless at that time.
She also asked the BCL leaders and activists to read the Unfinished Memories, Karagarer Rojnamcha (Diary in Jail), Amar Dekha Naya Chin of Bangabandhu and the Secret Documents of Pakistani intelligence to know many things.
"If you read the secret document, you will learn many things and can gain knowledge to do politics," she said.
Sheikh Hasina also asked the BCL leaders and activists to engage them in enhancing food production as the world might face a deeper food crisis.
BCL Dhaka University Unit President Sonjit Chandra Das, General Secretary Saddam Hossain, Dhaka North Unit President Ibrahim Hossain, General Secretary Saidur Rahman Hridoy, Dhaka South Unit President Mehedi Hasan and General Secretary Jubayer Ahmed, among others, also spoke at the discussion.
