A discussion was held yesterday, marking the 89th birth anniversary of the country’s first prime minister and Awami League leader, late Tajuddin Ahmed.
The program was organised by Jatiya Ganotantrik League, National Awami Party (NAP) Bhashani and Kazi Aref Foundation on Sunday at the capital’s Bangladesh Shishu Kalyan Parishad Auditorium.
However, senior Awami League leader Suranjit Sengupta did not attend the programme though he was supposed to be there as chief guest.
“Although Tajuddin Ahmed played a vital role during the absence of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in the history of Bangladesh, he is not properly acknowledged and evaluated” said Ekushey Padak winner and renowned poet Asad Chowdhury.
“This is not only a shame for the martyrs and patriots who had sacrificed their lives for the liberation of Bangladesh, but also for the nation itself” he added.
Journalist and columnist Kabir Chowdhury Tonmoy, NAP Bhashani chief Mostak Ahmed Bhashani and Kazi Aref Foundation chief Kazi Masud Ahmed spoke at the programme, with Former Secretary Sirajuddin Ahmed in the chair.
