Personal Correspondent: The post, telecommunication and information technology adviser said that the interim government does not consider Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as the father of the nation. Nahid Islam.
He said this in response to a question from reporters at the secretariat on Wednesday (October 16).
Awami League made Bangabandhu controversial. In response to the question whether you consider him the 'father of the nation', the information adviser 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, there will be no continuation of that in the new Bangladesh.
He said, 'We want to restructure Bangladesh. As a result, we have to bring a new perspective to history.'
If you think everything done by Awami League is national, Nahid Islam said, 'Government without votes has no legitimacy. A lot has been done in that time. All will be restructured and reassessed.'
In response to the question whether this government considers Bangabandhu the father of the nation, he said, 'Of course not.'
Nahid Islam also said, 'Many people have contributed to the history of fighting in 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.'
