PM greets FFs with gifts on Eid-ul-Fitr

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday greeted all Freedom Fighters (FFs) of the country on the occasion of the Eid-ul-Fitr, one of the biggest religious festivals of the Muslims, reports BSS.

Like the previous Eid and other festivals, the premier sent flowers, fruits and sweetmeats to the war-wounded freedom fighters (FFs) at Martyred and War-wounded Freedom Fighters’ Rehabilitation Centre (Muktijoddha Tower-1) on Gaznavi Road at Mohammadpur in the city as a mark of her good wishes for them.

PM’s Assistant Private Secretary (APS) Saifuzzaman Shikhar and Assistant Press Secretary M.M. Emrul Kayas handed over these items to the war-wounded FFs this noon.

The Freedom Fighters thanked and expressed gratitude to the prime minister for remembering them on every national day and festival like the Independence Day, the Victory Day, Eid and Pahela Baishakh.

They also expressed gratitude to the premier for undertaking massive steps for their rehabilitation including construction of Mutijoddha Tower-1, a 13- storey residential and commercial building, at Mohammadpur.

The FFs and their family members wished Sheikh Hasina good health and long life.
