Awami League (AL) General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Thursday underscored the need for continuous fighting against the communal forces which ultimately oppose our Liberation War and saying that the evil forces are still spreading in the country.
"We must have to fight continuously against the anti-liberation communal evil forces by motivating with self strength... As the evil forces still activate in the country," he said.
Quader, also road transport and bridges minister, told the journalists after paying homage to the best sons of the nation at the Martyrs Intellectuals Mausoleum at Mirpur in the capital Dhaka this morning marking the Martyrs Intellectuals Day.
The evil forces of 1971 who had killed the best sons of the soil and those communal evil forces are still spreading their links in the country, Quader said, adding, "The evil forces are the enemy of the independence and also the victory as well."
Expressing his vow on the day, the ruling party leader said, "To make the country free from sectarianism, we must continue to fight against the evil forces led by BNP-Jammat who are now being exposed threat to the country's independence."
He said they [the evil forces] are continuously giving threats and being involved with conspiracies to take back the country on the way of Pakistani sentiment. "So, we have to continue to fight against the evil force," the AL general secretary added.
A nation that is enriched with the spirit of 71 never becomes defeated, he said.
Earlier, President Mohammed Shahabuddin and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina paid rich tributes to the best sons of the country at 7.05 am and 7.06 am respectively marking the day.
