Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today said it`s foremost important for the next generation to know the history of the country for imbuing them with the spirit of patriotism and building their good character.“Steps should be taken so that the next generations don`t forget the history of the War of Liberation as it`s the source of all inspiration and strength of our nation to live amidst the global community with a sense of dignity,” she said.Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said this while inaugurating the newly constructed building of Muktijuddha Jadughar (Liberation War Museum) in city`s Agargaon area today.Sheikh Hasina said after 1975 the country had passed through a difficult time when Freedom Fighters (FFs) or their progenies were afraid of identifying them as Freedom Fighters or their wards. But now the situation has changed and the FFs can say proudly that they are Freedom Fighters and belonged to the nation`s great history.“The change would have been possible due to assumption of power by the Awami League in 1996 when the party relieved the history from distortion following formation of the government after 21 years of Bangabandhu`s brutal killing,” she said.Sheikh Hasina said many of the critics of Bangabandhu who are still alive can understand that they had created the background of the August 15, 1975, making the stairs for the anti-liberation force to come to power.Lacking of their consciousness was very unfortunate and perhaps some of them now can realize that what wrong their thinking was, she said.Truth can never be suppressed or erased, the prime minister said adding that truth has been revealed in Bangladesh.Minister for Liberation War Affairs AKM Mozammel Haque attended the function as special guest while Minister for Cultural Affairs and Trustee of the Jadughar Asaduzzaman Noor gave the vote of thanks. Ziauddain Tariq Ali, member secretary and trustee of the Muktijuddha Jadughar gave the welcome address and trustee of the museum Poet Rabiul Hussain presented a crest to the prime minister.The programme began with recitation form four holy books and observing one minute silence paying tributes to the memory of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and martyrs of the liberation war.Later, the prime minister unveiled the plaque of the museum and lit the `Shikha Amlan” in front of the museum. She also visited different sections of the museum.Source: BSS
