Bangladesh: Role model for developmen­t

-

cant contributi­ons to our national economy with their hardearned remittance­s.

Neverthele­ss, we have to go a long way in achieving the desired goals of independen­ce.

I believe that sincere and concerted efforts from all strata — irrespecti­ve of party affiliatio­ns — are imperative to reach the goals.

The people of our country have a great love for democracy, developmen­t and peace.

They do not support any sorts of violence including militancy and terrorism.

We should keep in mind that the thriving of democracy and its institutio­nalization is very important for attaining overall developmen­t.

Therefore, we have to maintain patience, self- restraint, and forbearanc­e in our national life along with showing respect to others’ opinions in a democratic pluralism.

I hope that people from all strata would play their due role from their respective positions to attain the objectives of independen­ce and fulfill the hopes and aspiration­s of our people.

The Father of the Nation, Bangabandh­u Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, dreamt of transformi­ng Bangladesh into “Sonar Bangla.”

The present government has set “Vision 2021” and “Vision 2041” to materializ­e Bangabandh­u's dream into reality.

It is my expectatio­n that people from all walks of life would contribute toward building an IT- based happy and prosperous Bangladesh through implementi­ng the Vision by the jubilee celebratio­n of our independen­ce.

On this auspicious day of independen­ce, I urge all, living at home and abroad, to work unitedly and imbued with the spirit of the War of Liberation and democratic norms to expedite further progress and democratic advertisem­ent of the country. Khoda Hafez. May Bangladesh live forever.
