Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday greeted the freedom fighters of the country on the occasion of the Independence and National Day.
As in the past, the prime minister sent flowers, fruits and sweetmeats to the war-wounded freedom fighters and members of the martyred families at War-wounded Freedom Fighters' Rehabilitation Centre (Muktijoddha Tower-1) on Gaznavi Road in Dhaka’s Mohammadpur area as a mark of her good wishes for them.
Prime Minister's Assistant Private Secretary (APS)-2 Gazi Hafizur Rahman Liku and Assistant Press Secretary ABM Sarwer-E-Alom Sarker handed over the gift items to them.
According to a media release of the prime minister's press wing, the war-wounded freedom fighters and members of the martyred families thanked the prime minister and expressed their gratitude to her for remembering them on every national day and festivals like Independence Day, Victory Day, Eid and Pahela Baishakh.
The freedom fighters expressed their confidence in the far-sighted leadership of the eldest daughter of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and expressed their satisfaction with the overwhelming development and progress of the country.
They also showed their gratitude to Sheikh Hasina's leadership for presenting the accurate history of independence to the new generation.
They specifically mentioned that marginal people of the country stay well and the freedom fighters along with their families live well if the government under the leadership of Awami League, which believes in the spirit of the great Liberation War, is in power.
The freedom fighters and members of their families expressed their gratitude to the prime minister for providing increased allowances, medical care and accommodation to the freedom fighters.
They said the freedom fighters thought that under the leadership of Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh will one day stand high in the world as a hunger- and poverty-free, developed, prosperous and self-respecting "Sonar Bangladesh" as dreamt by Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
They also wished the prime minister good health and long life.
