Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday greeted all Freedom Fighters (FFs) of the country on the occasion of the 48th Victory Day.
Like the previous years, the premier sent flowers, fruits and sweetmeats to the war-wounded freedom fighters (FFs) at Martyred and War-wounded Freedom Fighters’ Rehabilitation Centre (Muktijoddha Tower-1) on Gaznavi Road at Mohammadpur in the capital as a token of best wishes.
Officials of the Prime Minister’s Office led by PM’s Protocol Officer SM Khurshid-ul-Alam handed over these items to the war-wounded FFs this morning.
The Freedom Fighters thanked and expressed gratitude to the prime minister 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 Muktijoddha Tower-1, a 13-storey residential and commercial building, at Mohammadpur.
The FFs and their family members wished Sheikh Hasina good health and long life.
There are residential flats and shops in the Muktijoddha Tower-1 for 80 families of the war-wounded FFs.
The nation is celebrating the 48th Victory Day today (Sunday) marking the most precious day when the country was liberated from the Pakistani occupation forces after a nine-month-long War of Liberation.
