Prime minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday greeted all freedom fighters (FFs) of the country on the occasion of the holy Eid-ul-Azha, the second biggest religious festival of the Muslims.

Like other occasions, the PM sent flowers, fruits and sweetmeats to the war-wounded freedom fighters and members of the martyred families at Martyred and War-wounded Freedom Fighters’ Rehabilitation Centre (Muktijoddha Tower-1) at Gaznavi Road in the capital’s Mohammadpur.

PM’s special assistant Moshiur Rahman Humayun, deputy press secretary Shakhawat Moon, protocol officer Khurshid-ul-Alam and assignment officer Muhammad Arifuzzaman Nurnabi handed over these items to them this afternoon.

The war-wounded FFs and members of the martyred families 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 PM for undertaking massive steps for their rehabilitation including construction of Muktijoddha Tower-1, a 13-storey residential-cum-commercial building in Mohammadpur.

The war-wounded FFs and members of the martyred families said that they get their due honour when Awami League president Sheikh Hasina remains in state power.

They wished the prime minister good health and long life.
