Sports advisor Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan said that the people of a country will decide who will be the father of the nation, not any fascist political party.
He said this in a post on his account on social media Facebook on Wednesday.
If the people of the country had considered Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as the father of the nation, the revolutionary students would not have demolished his statue on August 5. Sheikh Mujib is not the father of the nation, Awami is one of the symbolic means of establishing fascism.
Before this, the adviser of the Ministry of Post, Telecommunication and Information Technology and Information and Broadcasting. Nahid Islam said that the interim government does not consider Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as the father of the nation.
He said this in response to questions from journalists at a press conference at the secretariat.
Awami League made Bangabandhu controversial. Asked whether you consider him the ‘father of the nation’, he said, Awami League was in power as a fascist party. They were in power by disenfranchising people and by murdering them and killing them. So who called him the father of the nation, they declared any day as national day, it will not continue in new Bangladesh. We want to restructure Bangladesh. As a result we have to bring a new perspective to history.
Addressing the journalists, Nahid said, if you consider everything done by Awami League to be national… A government without votes has no legitimacy. A lot has been done in that time. All will be restructured and reassessed.
In response to the question whether this government considers Bangabandhu as the father of the nation, he said, ‘Of course not’.
Then we will not have any father of the nation – he said, many people have contributed in the history of our struggle for this land. But our history did not start only in 52, we have anti-British struggle, 47 and 71 struggle, 90 and 24. We have many founding fathers. We got freedom as a result of their struggle.
