Bangabandhu's economic vision was to build a poverty and hunger-free happy, prosperous Bangladesh, said Dr. Mashiur Rahma, Economic Affairs Adviser to the Prime Minister.
He said that Bangabandhu always carried his dream for people. After the end of British era in the sub-continent and the formation of Pakistan, he realized very quickly that Bengali people are still oppressed like they were before.
Dr. Mashiur was addressing a discussion meeting organised by the Institute of Cost and Management Accountants of Bangladesh (ICMAB) on virtual platform marking National Mourning Day.
Professor, Bangabandu Chair and former Governor of Bangladesh Bank Dr. Atiur Rahman and Shabnam Jahan MP attended the program as special guests.
Dr. Mashiur further said the struggle of Bangabandhu for people never stopped. He lost his studentship of Dhaka University for fighting for the rights of the 4th class staff of the University. Mohammad Ali Zinnah was a supreme powerful person and nobody couldn’t think to stand against him whenever Bangabandhu didn’t hesitate to show objection to Zinnahs word.
While addressing Dr Atiur Rahman told that Bangabandhu knew how to pass the inspiration among people. He was the greatest leader who also had the great skill of creating leaders. He built this entire nation from a null situation.
"We had nothing after independence, no money, no food, no roads, infrastructure, education. West Pakistani oppression was so cruel and cunning that their per head income was 61% greater than us during 1970. In such condition, Bangabandhu started his journey to build this country and today we are standing in a great position, which is by all means his gift to us", Dr. Atiur said.
Special Guest Shabnam Jahan MP said, Bangabandhu always thought about independence of people and doing good to them.
He was always thoughtful about the freedom of Bengali people by all means from the very early stage of his political inception. He fought for Bangla language, democracy and independence.
Delivering his address of welcome, AKM Delwer Hussain FCMA, Chairman of ICMAB Seminar & Conference Committee and Vice President of South Asian Federation of Accountants (SAFA) said that we couldn’t be so successful or stay in a good position today withot achieving independence under the able leadership of Bangabandhu.
Abu sayed Md. Shaykhul Islam FCMA, Past President of the Institute and present Council Member and member of the Public Sector Financial Management Committee of Confederation of Asian and Pacific Accountants (CAPA) moderated the entire program and remembering childhood memory when Bangabandhu was fighting and leading the movement of independence of Bangladesh.
ICMAB President Md. Jasim Uddin Akand FCMA presided over the discussion meeting. He said that Cost and management accountants would work hard for making ‘Sonar Bangla’ which was Bangabandhus’ dream.
