PM for mother’s special attention to children

Desk Report: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has called upon parents specially mothers to give attention to groom up their children as worthy citizens with the ideals of Begum Rokeya.

“Especially the mothers should give attention to the children so that they don’t become bending to militancy, terrorism and drug,” she said while distributing Rokeya Padak-2018 at a function at Bangabandhu International Conference Center (BICC) on Sunday.

“The parents have to build a friendly relation with their children so that they can share their happiness, sorrow and any feelings with them,” the prime minister said.

State Minister for Women and Children Affairs Meher Afroz Chumki presided over the function held under the auspices of the Ministry of Women and Children Affairs marking the ‘Rokeya Dibosh’.

This year, five prominent women of the country received the Begum Rokeya Award for their outstanding role in empowering womenfolk. They are – former state minister Jinatun Nesa Talukder, former teacher of Comilla Women College Prof. Zohara Anis, noted cultural and social worker of Sunamgonj district Shila Roy, noted writer and social worker Rama Chowdhury and writer and social worker of Brahmanbaria Rokeya Begum.

Secretary of the ministry Nasima Begum gave welcome address while Zebunessa Talukder spoke on the occasion on behalf of the award recipients.

Sheikh Hasina said people of this subcontinent was the pioneer to show ways to the world as far as women development issues are concerned despite having some narrowness and ignorance in a section of people.

“Despite being the champion of democracy American people so far have no female president. On that point of view, she said, we are in a more advanced position,” she said.

She particularly was pointing out women occupancy in the posts of prime minister, speaker, leader of the opposition and deputy leader in the parliament.

“However, women must give opportunities to earn for her own as financial solvency is big issue for making a woman independent and have a position in the family and society,” she said. _BSS
