Dhaka:State Minister for Health and Family Welfare Dr. MA Muhit emphasized the historical significance of November 7, 1975, as a day when sepoys and citizens united against the forces of domination and misrule. He highlighted the events that took place on this day, marking a collective resistance against the oppression following the 1971 Liberation War.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Dr. Muhit remarked that the unity of ordinary people and patriotic armed forces was crucial in safeguarding the country's sovereignty from both domestic and foreign threats. This movement also led to the liberation of Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman, who was then entrusted with leading the nation.
Dr. Muhit's comments were made during his attendance as the chief guest at the inaugural ceremony of a display program and a football match commemorating the National Revolution and Solidarity Day at the Shahzadpur Government Model Pilot High School ground. Prior to this, he participated in a special rally to observe Cerebral Palsy Day.
Addressing the youth and students, Dr. Muhit noted that 1975 was a period marked by severe crises, including political repression, the establishment of one-party rule, and famine. He drew parallels to similar situations faced during the fascist regime before 2024, urging the younger generation to uphold unity and resist any attempts to deprive people of their rights.
Dr. Muhit called on the youth to contribute to nation-building, emphasizing the importance of embracing Prime Minister Tarique Rahman's motto, "Korbo Kaj, Gorbo Desh, Sobar Agee Bangladesh," and urged them to engage in sports and social activities alongside academics. The event was attended by local officials, educators, students, and community members.
