The government is working ceaselessly to build a self-reliant Bangladesh, Water Resources Minister and BNP Joint Secretary General Shahid Uddin Chowdhury Anee has said.
He said, ‘The government is carrying on various programmes keeping in view the goal of invigorating the rural economy and building a self-reliant Bangladesh.’
He said these things in his speech as chief guest after releasing fish fry in the Rahmatkhali canal in Lakshmipur on Friday (18 September) morning. Later, at the initiative of the district fisheries department, fish fry were distributed among 33 government and non-government institutions for release in ponds.
The minister said, ‘Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman, out of his sharp vision and far-sighted thinking, had taken up various programmes including canal re-excavation to build a self-reliant Bangladesh. It was a movement, a revolution. In that continuity, we have taken up new programmes to complete the unfinished work of Deshnetri Begum Khaleda Zia. This will create an awakening.’
He further said, ‘If all of us, irrespective of party affiliation, give priority to these tasks, it will be possible to invigorate the rural economy through economic transformation. We are Bangalees of fish and rice, and our country is riverine. All in all, we will be able to further strengthen our own position. We are carrying on our work keeping in view the goal of building a self-reliant Bangladesh.’
Special guests at the event were Deputy Commissioner SM Mehedi Hasan, Superintendent of Police Md Abu Tarek, District Water Development Board Executive Engineer Nahid-uz-Zaman Khan, District Fisheries Officer Jasim Uddin, District BNP Joint Convener Hasibur Rahman and BFF Vice-President Wahid Uddin Chowdhury Happy, among others.
