Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday greeted all freedom fighters (FFs) of the country on the occasion of the 51st Victory Day.
Like the previous years, the PM sent flowers, fruits and sweetmeats to the FFs at the Muktijuddha Complex at College Gate here as a mark of her good wishes for them.
On behalf of the Prime Minister, her Assistant Private Secretary-2 Gazi Hafizur Rahman Liku handed over the gift items to the FFs and their family members at 12:30pm. Prime Minister’s Deputy Press Secretary Hasan Jahid Tusher was present at the ceremony.
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 wished Sheikh Hasina good health and long life, said sources at the Prime Minister’s Press Wing.
The nation celebrated the 51st Victory Day as Bangladesh was liberated on December 16, 1971 at the cost of the supreme sacrifice of three million martyrs and the honour of 200,000 women in a blood-stained nine-month war.
