To mark the day, Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy (BSA) premiered director Goutam Koiri’s short film ‘Bangamata’, based on the life of Bangamata Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib on Sunday evening.
Awami League (AL) Presidium Member and Chairman of Parliamentary Standing Committee on Ministry of Cultural Affairs Simin Hossain Rimi inaugurated the show. Presided over by Cultural Affairs Secretary Khalil Ahmed, State Minister for Cultural Affairs KM Khalid attended the show as the chief guest, while Senior Secretary for Energy and Mineral Resources Division Md Mahbub Hossain was present as a special guest.
KM Khalid said, “The noble woman Bangamata was always by Bangabandhu’s side in happiness and sorrow. Bangabandhu was inspired and encouraged in political movement and struggle for people’s rights. She has manifested in the glory of sacrifice by giving up her happiness throughout her life. It is never possible for a common woman. So no one can touch the glory of Bangmata’s sacrifice.”
