The small Bangladesh community in Thimphu, joined by Bhutanese dignitaries, yesterday celebrated the 39th anniversary of the Independence and National Day of Bangladesh at the embassy ground.
The Bangladesh ambassador to Bhutan, Mujibur Rahman Bhuiyan, said that the day will always remain special to the people of Bangladesh, as it marked the beginning of independence of Bangladesh after nine-month long armed struggle with Pakistani forces and immense sacrifices of lives of Bangladeshi people and finally achieving the independence on March 26,1971.
“This day also marked the beginning of a new nation, where the people had the freedom and right to self determination and it was the dream of the Father of the Nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, to build Bangladesh into a happy and prosperous country in a democratic environment,” he said.
“Bhutan is an old and close friend of Bangladesh and among the first nations to recognise Bangladesh as an independent country. This is important because Bhutan helped us when we needed the most, and that’s why Bhutan will always have a special place in the hearts of all the people of Bangladesh.”
In her message to the nation, Sheikh Hasina paid tribute to the three million heroes, who sacrificed their lives, and 200,000 women, who lost their innocence in the war of liberation. “I recall with deep gratitude the leader of our liberation struggle, the greatest Bangalee of all time, the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman,” said the prime minister in her message.
“Our government has been striving hard to establish Bangladesh as a poverty-, hunger- and illiteracy-free digital Bangladesh by 2021, the golden jubilee year of our independence. For the success of the noble endeavour, I call upon all people wherever they may be to join us with their utmost sincerity, honesty and dedication.”
The foreign secretary, Daw Penjo, home secretary Dasho Penden Wangchuk and the chief of protocol, Singye Dorjee were present at the celebration.
