PM greets FFs with gifts on Independence Day

Desk Report: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has greeted all Freedom Fighters (FFs) of the country on the occasion of the 48th Independence and National Day.

Like other occasions, the premier sent flowers, fruits and sweetmeats to the war-wounded freedom fighters (FFs) and members of the martyred families at Martyred and War-wounded Freedom Fighters' Rehabilitation Centre (Muktijoddha Tower-1) on Gaznavi Road at Mohammadpur in the city as a mark of her good wishes for them.

PM's Assistant Private Secretary (APS) Saifuzzaman Shikhar, Deputy Press Secretary Ashraful Alam Khokan, Protocol Officer Khurshid-ul-Alam and Assignment Officer Gazi Hafizur Rahman handed over these items to them on Monday morning.

The war-wounded FFs and members of the martyred families thanked the prime minister and expressed their gratitude to her for remembering them on every national day and festival like the Independence Day, the Victory Day, Eid and Pahela Baishakh.

They also expressed gratitude to the premier for undertaking massive steps for their rehabilitation including construction of Mutijoddha Tower-1, a 13- storey residential-cum-commercial building, at Mohammadpur.

The war-wounded FFs and members of the martyred families said that they get due honour only when the Awami League and Sheikh Hasina remain in state power.

They wished the prime minister good health and long life._BSS
