Dhaka: BNP Senior Joint Secretary General and the Prime Minister’s Political Adviser Ruhul Kabir Rizvi today asserted that any attempts to erase the history and spirit of the Liberation War from the people’s minds will never be successful. He emphasized that the Liberation War represents a history written in the blood of the country’s people, and the sacrifices made by the liberation martyrs, including mothers and sisters, are unforgettable. Rizvi warned that any conspiracies to make people forget this history would be resisted by the nation.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Rizvi made these remarks while addressing journalists after paying respects at the graves of Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman and former Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia. The event took place in Sher-e-Bangla Nagar near the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban, on behalf of the newly formed 151-member central committee of the Bangladesh Jatiyotabadi Muktijoddha Projoinmo. Rizvi highlighted the crucial role of the Jatiyotabadi Muktijoddha Projoinmo in educating the new generation about the history of the Liberation War and the spirit of independence.
Discussing the energy crisis, Rizvi pointed out that it is not an isolated issue for Bangladesh but an international challenge. He stressed the importance of renewable energy and urged the government to reduce taxes in the solar power sector and facilitate the import of related equipment. Rizvi suggested increasing tax benefits to promote the use of rooftop solar panels, which would help meet electricity demand and reduce foreign dependence.
The event was attended by notable figures such as State Minister for Liberation War Affairs and President of the Jatiyotabadi Muktijoddha Projoinmo Engineer Ishrak Hossain, BNP Volunteer Affairs Secretary Mir Sarafat Ali Sapu, President of the Freedom Fighters’ Dal and heroic freedom fighter Ishtiaq Aziz Ulfat, and General Secretary of the Jatiyotabadi Muktijoddha Projoinmo Dr. K.
