State Minister for Fisheries and Livestock Sultan Salahuddin Tuku said that everyone must work together to build a corruption-free, self-reliant and prosperous Bangladesh by embracing the patriotism, honesty and ideals of martyred President Ziaur Rahman.
He said these things while speaking as the chief guest at a discussion meeting and prayer mahfil organized by the district BNP on the occasion of the 45th martyrdom anniversary of martyred President Ziaur Rahman at the Sonar Bangla Community Center in Tangail city on Saturday (May 30, 2026).
The State Minister for Fisheries and Livestock said that martyred President Ziaur Rahman inspired the nation to fight for the liberation war by declaring independence from the Kalurghat radio station on March 26. He said, “Bangladesh became independent through his declaration. His leadership, patriotism and courage are forever remembered in the history of independence. We want to walk the path of the future by carrying his ideals in our hearts.”
The State Minister said, Martyr President Ziaur Rahman was a multi-dimensional personality. His contribution to the declaration of independence, the Liberation War, the restoration of democracy, economic development and protecting national interests inspires the nation even today.
He said, Martyr President Ziaur Rahman always stood for the people and spoke for the welfare of the people. He gave the highest priority to the welfare of the people of the country at every stage of state governance, starting from the Liberation War.
He also said, BNP has survived despite political oppression and adversity for 17 long years and has become stronger as an organization. Through this long struggle, BNP leaders and activists have become strong, organized and powerful.
The State Minister said, currently we are observing that a party is trying to distort the true spirit of the Liberation War in various ways. We want a Bangladesh where equality, justice, democracy and human values are established.
The discussion meeting, chaired by District BNP President Hasanuzzammil Shaheen, was addressed by former District BNP Member Secretary Mahmudul Haque Sanu, former District BNP Joint Secretary Kazi Shafiqur Rahman Liton, former Organizing Secretary Shafiqur Rahman Shafiq and Sadar Upazila BNP President Azgar Ali, among others.
