Friday, 18 April 2014


“Dictators” have tried to rewrite the history of Bangladesh, but have not succeeded, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s son Sajeeb Wajed Joy has said. He made the remark in a Facebook status on the occasion of Mujibnagar Day on April 17. “The Awami League is rich with the history of Bangladesh. We led the Independence movement. Dictators and frauds have tried to rewrite our history books, but you cannot change history,” he said. “Today is Mujibnagar Day. 43 years ago on this day, the first cabinet of the government of Bangladesh took oath. The honourable Tajuddin Ahmed was sworn in as our first prime minister,” Joy said in his status. “Bangabandhu was declared the first president. As he had been arrested by the Pakistani junta, in his absence honourable Syed Nazrul Islam was appointed the acting president,” he wrote, according to bdnews24.com.
