Instill spirit of Liberation War in all: President

GAZIPUR, Mar 19 (UNB): President Abdul Hamid on Monday stressed the need for spreading the spirit of the Liberation War among all to resist the conspiracies of the anti-liberation forces which could raise their heads whenever they get scope, reports UNB.

"We have to resist any type of conspiracy and evil efforts for the interest of the nation and the country. For this reason we have to spread the spirit of the Liberation War among all. It is our duty to build up our new generation imbued with the spirit of Liberation War," he said.

"The anti- liberation forces did not forget the stigma of defeat in the Liberation War. So the evil forces raise their heads whenever they get scope. They are the enemy of the country's independence, democracy and development, "he said.

President Hamid was addressing a rally at Gazipur Rajbari field here on Monday afternoon. Swadhinatar Prothom Soshosro Protirodh Dibos Udjapan Committee organised the rally to mark the first armed resistance against the Pakistani occupation forces in Gazipur.

Chaired by Deputy Commissioner of Gazipur district Dr Dewan Md Humayun Kabir, the rally was addressed, among others, by Liberation War Affairs Minister AKM Mozammel Huq, local MP Zahid Ahasan Russell, Gazipur Zila Parishad chairman Aktheruzzaman and local Awami League leaders.

"There was an evil effort to teach the distorted history of our Liberation War to the next generation. Those who distorted the history did this deliberately. They did this as they are afraid of Bangabandhu, Liberation War and the history of the Liberation War," he said.
