Officials urged to work sincerely 

State Minister for Information and Broadcasting Mohammad Ali Arafat has urged the government officials to work with utmost sincerity showing maximum loyalty to the state by keeping the country's foundation intact that was built through the Liberation War.

The state minister was addressing the orientation programme of the newly appointed BCS (information) cadre officers under the 41st BCS examination as the chief guest at the ministry's conference room in the Bangladesh Secretariat on Tuesday.

Senior Secretary of the Information and Broadcasting Ministry Md Humayun Kabir Khandaker was present at the event as the special guest.

Noting that a country itself defines what kind of country it will be, Arafat said the definition of Bangladesh was created through the great Liberation War of 1971.

“We should remain steadfast to the definition that was determined with sacrifices of 30 lakh martyrs and honor of two lakh women.

There will be no compromise on this key point like on the question of Bangladesh and its birth. It should be thought reaching above party politics,” he added.

Additional secretaries of the ministry Md Kawser Ahammed and Tanmaya Das, and National Institute of Mass Communication (NIMCO) Additional Director General Sufi Zakir Hossain and Director Md Nazrul Islam were also present at the function, among others.
