Construction work of Bangabandhu Memorial Trust’s library begins

Construction work of a library of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Memorial Trust has started at Dhanmondi-32 in Dhaka on Saturday.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her younger sister Sheikh Rehana, the two daughters of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, jointly laid the foundation stone of the library, Mujib Pathagar.

Prime minister's Deputy Press Secretary K M Shakhawat Moon briefed the media about it.

Sheikh Hasina said the library of Bangabandhu Memorial Trust would help the new generation to know about the true history of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the greatest Bangali of all time, and the country.

She said the anti-liberation forces had stopped the trial of the killers of Father of the Nation by enacting an indemnity ordinance after 1975.

The Awami League government has freed the nation from the stigma through the trial of the killers by repealing the indemnity ordinance after assuming power, she added.

 The prime minister said her only goal is to build the country as a happy and prosperous "Sonar Bangla" and bring smiles on the faces of the people as dreamt by Father of the Nation.

Bangabandhu's grandson Radwan Mujib Siddiq was present on the occasion.
