Chattogram Zilla Parishad organized a discussion meeting to celebrate the 73rd birth anniversary of Captain Sheikh Kamal, the eldest son of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, prominent sports organizer and martyred freedom fighter on Friday at the temporary office of the Zilla Parishad.

MA Salam said, Sheikh Kamal was a student leader, a brave freedom fighter, a cultural worker, a sports organizer and a player. He made a heroic contribution in the mass uprising of 1969 and the great liberation war of 1971. After independence, he established Abhani Krirachakra and contributed immensely to take the country's football, cricket and hockey to the international level.
