Jumbangla Desk: Information and broadcasting advisor Nahid Islam commented that we have many founding fathers. We got freedom as a result of their struggle.
He made this comment in response to questions from reporters at the secretariat on Wednesday.
In response to journalists' questions, Information and Broadcasting Adviser Nahid Islam said, Awami League was in power as a fascist party. They were in power by disenfranchising people and by murdering them and killing them. So who did they call the father of the nation, what day did they declare as national day, it will not continue in new Bangladesh.
Commenting that the interim administration formed through the popular uprising is going to build Bangladesh anew, Nahid told reporters, we have to bring a new perspective to history.
When journalists drew the attention of the Information and Broadcasting Adviser regarding the decision to cancel eight national days, he said, "If you consider everything done by Awami League as national... A government without votes has no legitimacy. A lot has been done in that time. All will be restructured and reassessed.
A journalist said at this time, every country has a father of the nation. Does the current government not consider Bangabandhu as the father of the nation of Bangladesh? In response, Nahid Islam said, "Of course not."
So there will be no father of the nation in Bangladesh?- The advisor said that many people have contributed in the history of our struggle for this land. But our history did not start only in 52, we have anti-British struggle, 47 and 71 struggle, 90 and 24. We have many founding fathers. We got freedom as a result of their struggle.
