M Humayun Kabir: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday said Bangamata Sheikh Fazilatunnesa gave the right decision at any crisis moment and helped Bangabandhu become the great leader.
“In any crisis moment, my mother had the unparalleled quality and capacity to give the right decisions,” she said, reports UNB.
The time-befitting decisions of Bangamata Sheikh Fazilatunnesa had helped the country achieve its desired goal — the independence, said Sheikh Hasina.
The premier came up with the evaluation while addressing a function marking the 88th birth anniversary of Bangamata Sheikh Fazilatunnesa at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre (BICC) here.
Sheikh Hasina, the eldest child of Bangabandhu and Bangamata, said Bangamata Sheikh Fazilatunnesa had also made huge sacrifices for Bangladesh’s independence.
Hasina went on saying, “The defeated forces, their companions, Pakistani occupational forces and their collaborators, the vested quarter that never wanted the liberation of the country, the hypocrites who betrayed the country did not spare my mother on August 15.”
“My mother always encouraged him to do politics for the people of this country, never pulled him back, she never cared for her own interests; even she never thought what she will get in life,” she said.
About the influence of Bangabandhu’s wife in his political life, Hasina mentioned the suggestions of her mother to Bangabandhu before he had gone to deliver the historic Match 7th Address at Suhrawardy Uddyan in 1971.
Hasina said Bangabandhu used to learn about the leaders and workers of the party through his wife when she met him in jail during the Pakistan period.
