Bangladesh would have become a developed and prosperous country by now had Bangabandhu not been assassinated, Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader said.
BNP-led anti-liberation forces are still conspiring against Bangladesh, the ruling party's senior leader said after paying tribute to Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, marking the 48th anniversary of his martyrdom and the National Mourning Day.
The Awami League general secretary placed wreaths at Bangabandhu’s portrait at the Bangabandhu Memorial Museum at Dhanmondi-32 around 7am.
He urged the countrymen to stand firm against the conspirators and resist them.
Anti-liberation and anti-democratic forces are common foes of the pro-liberation forces and the country, Obaidul Quader said.
