Dhaka Bureau: Awami League General Secretary and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader said our only obstacle today is communalism. Today, the seed of communalism that has spread its branches under the leadership of the BNP will be uprooted under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. This is our commitment.
He said this after paying tribute to language martyrs at Shaheed Minar on Wednesday (February 21) morning.
Quader said February 11 is the foundation of independent Bangladesh. The foundation of Bangladesh was laid through the language movement of Ekushey February, under the leadership of Bangabandhu. After crossing various milestones in the independence struggle, Bangabandhu’s historic March 7 speech gave direction to the independence nationalism of the 1970s. We are language warriors first. Then, in 1971, we became brave freedom fighters.
He said that Bangladesh’s victory on December 16, 1971, and the development and prosperity of Bangladesh today are a wonder in the whole world.
