BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir believes that the future development of Bangladesh depends largely on its youth.
He made this remark while speaking to journalists on Saturday after paying tribute at the graves of former President Ziaur Rahman and former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia at Zia Udyan in the capital.
Mirza Fakhrul said that Prime Minister and BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman has approved the full committee of Jubo Dal. He expressed hope that under this committee, the Bangladesh Jatiyatabadi Jubo Dal would emerge as an even stronger organization across the country with renewed enthusiasm.
He stated that the current government's vision is “Bangladesh First, Bangladesh Above All,” and that Jubo Dal will play a highly positive role in implementing this vision.
He visited the mausoleum alongwith the leaders of the newly formed full central committee of the Bangladesh Jatiyatabadi Jubo Dal.
The BNP Secretary General said, “Today, we have come here with the leaders of the full committee of Jubo Dal to pay our respects to our party’s founder, the pioneer of multi-party democracy and former President Shaheed Ziaur Rahman and to our leader Begum Khaleda Zia, who advanced democracy through a long struggle.
''We prayed that Almighty Allah grants this committee the strength, courage, and wisdom to build Jubo Dal into a strong organization throughout the country and to work for the welfare of the nation.”
Fakhrul further noted that one of the current government's important policies is to bring young people to the forefront, as Bangladesh’s development depends on its youth.
Mirza Fakhrul added, “Under the leadership of the new Bangladesh’s dynamic leader, Tarique Rahman, the new leadership of Jubo Dal will go forward and work for the country's development and the welfare of its people.”
Following the tribute, a special prayer was offered seeking eternal peace and forgiveness for the souls of Shaheed Ziaur Rahman and Begum Khaleda Zia.
Jubo Dal Central President Abdul Monayem Munna, General Secretary Mohammad Nurul Islam Nayan, and other party leaders, were present, among others.
