State Minister for Religious Affairs Alhaj Advocate Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah has said that conspirators and killers of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman are still now active against the country. They are still hatching conspiracy against the country. The patristic people, freedom fighters and their offspring must be united as the war is still now going on against the conspirators and the anti-liberation forces, he added.

Sheikh Abdullah said, “People of the country believe that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has achieved popularity so that the conspirators will not able to defeat her government by democratic way. So, they are spreading different types of rumors like ‘head is needed in Padma Bridge’. But, they failed in this way.”
He also said, “After failing to defeat Sheikh Hasina, the conspirators can try to hatch such a conspiracy which had been hatched against Bnagabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.”
Remembering the memory of Bangabandhu, the state minister said, “Before August 15, 1971, some people told Bangabandhu that conspirators were active against him. But Bangabandhu told them that he loves the Bangali people and he doesn’t believe that the people cannot do such type of conspiracy.”
He urged all the freedom fighters and their progeny to become aware of conspiracy.

Valiant freedom fighter and Adviser to USA Awami League Golam Mostafa Khan Miraj was the main discussant of the programme. In his speech, he shared his memories with bangabandhu.
He said, “We had protested at different districts through chanting slogan after death of Bangabandhu. We were prepared to sacrifice our life. At that time, we said that our blood is not more precious than Bangabandhu.”
