Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday greeted all the Freedom Fighters of the country on the occasion of Bangladesh's Independence and National Day, reports UNB.
As in the past, the prime minister sent flowers, fruits and sweetmeats to the war-wounded Freedom Fighters and members of the martyred Freedom Fighters’ families at Martyred and War-wounded Freedom Fighters’ Rehabilitation Centre (Muktijoddha Tower-1) on Gaznavi Road in the Dhaka’s Mohammadpur area as a mark of her good wishes for them.
PM’s Assistant Private Secretary Gazi Hafizur Rahman Liku and Assistant Press Secretary ABM Sarwer-E-Alom Sarker handed over the items to them.
On their part, the war-wounded Freedom Fighters and members of the martyred Freedom Fighters' families expressed their gratitude to the prime minister for remembering them on every important occasion -- be it National Day, Independence Day, Victory Day, Eid or Pahela Boishakh.
The Freedom Fighters also expressed satisfaction over the country's irresistible progress under the leadership of the eldest daughter of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
They specifically mentioned that the welfare of the people of the country, as well as the Freedom Fighters and their families, are being ensured by the Awami League government, "which believes in the spirit of the great Liberation War", according to a press release.
The Freedom Fighters also expressed their gratitude to the prime minister for providing increased allowances and accommodation.
They also expressed their firm belief that under the leadership of Sheikh Hasina, the country will one day become a poverty-free, prosperous and self-respecting "Golden Bangladesh" as dreamt by Bangabandhu.
They wished the prime minister good health and a long life.
