New Delhi: Joining the mood of celebration, the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi on Wednesday observed the 101st birth anniversary of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and the National Children’s Day 2021 with a resolve to work for realizing his dream of building “Sonar Bangla”.

The day’s program began with the hoisting of the national flag by Bangladesh High Commissioner to India Muhammad Imran on chancery premises, reports Dhaka Tribune.

High Commissioner Imran, along with members of the mission, placed a wreath on the portrait of Bangabandhu at the chancery building, the newspaper reported.

The event was followed by reading out of messages from President Abdul Hamid, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen and State Minister for Foreign Affairs Md Shahriar Alam.

Presiding over the meeting, Imran was quoted as saying by Dhaka Tribune Bangabandhu’s illustrious life was cut short by his assassination in 1975, but his legacy and ideals will inspire the Bangali nation forever.

He said the main goal of Bangabandhu’s politics was the independence of the country, so he was successful.

"His daughter, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, is also working with the aim of building 'Sonar Bangla'”, Imran said.

“Our children should learn more about the Father of the Nation, the greatest Bangali of all time, so they can provide future leadership in transforming our country into Sonar Bangla dreamt by him [Bangabandhu],” he said.

During the event, a special prayer was offered seeking divine blessings for Bangabandhu and those brutally killed on the fateful night on August 15, 1975.
