Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina extended heartfelt greetings to all freedom fighters of the country, recognising their sacrifices for the nation on the auspicious occasion of Eid-ul-Azha.
Continuing her tradition of honouring war heroes, the Prime Minister sent flowers, fruits, and sweets to war-wounded freedom fighters and families of martyrs residing at the Martyred and War-wounded Freedom Fighters’ Rehabilitation Centre (Muktijoddha Tower-1) on Gaznavi Road in the Mohammadpur area of the capital, UNB reports.
The gifts were delivered this morning by PM’s Assistant Press Secretary ABM Sarwer-e-Alom Sarker as a token of the nation's appreciation and good wishes, according to a press release from the PM’s Press Wing.
The recipients, comprising war-wounded freedom fighters and family members of the martyred, expressed deep gratitude towards Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for her consistent recognition and support on national commemorations and festivals such as Independence Day, Victory Day, Eid, and Pahela Baishakh.
The valiant freedom fighters praised the visionary and strong leadership of the Prime Minister. They recalled the brutal assassination of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and his family on August 15, 1975, noting that the subsequent illegal power grabbers harassed and disrespected freedom fighters instead of appreciating them.
