Bangabandhus ideals must be followed

They (people) should also hear the speeches of Bangabandhu minutely, he further said while addressing a discussion in Senate Building of Rajshahi University (RU) as the chief guest yesterday.
As a result of Bangladeshs birth, now its people have got the rights of doing politics. Without Bangabandhu, issue of Bangladesh couldnt be thought, he added.
Apart from a few anti-liberation thugs, the whole nation under the leadership of Bangabandhu fought and brought independence of the country and thats why the Bangalee nation embraced him as their closest one, affectionately decorating him with the honor of Bangabandhu, he said.
RU Teachers Association (RUTA) organised the discussion styled Bangabandhu: Independent Bangladesh and Development in observance of National Mourning Day and 41st martyrdom anniversary of Bangabandhu.
With RUTA President Prof Md Shahidullah in the chair, RU Vice-chancellor Prof Md Mijanuddin, Pro-VC Prof Chowdhury Sarwar Jahan, former VC Prof Abdul Khaleque, Treasurer Prof Sayen Uddin and Registrar Prof Entajul Haque also spoke.
Prof Mannan mentioned that Bangabandhu had shown dreams of Bangalees economical, political and communal emancipation. As a whole, Bangabandhu was himself Bangladesh as the then seven and half crore people have fought for independent Bangladesh led by the great leader.
The farsightedness, inner vision and political brilliance of Bangabandhu were so sharp that he could proclaim independence of Bangladesh by transforming the 6-point charter of demand (for autonomy of the then East Pakistan) into a one-point demand, he said.
Bangabandhus only devotion was to achieve economic emancipation of people, build a poverty-free nation and thus establish a Sonar Bangla to bring smiles on the faces of Bangalees.
