Maulana Bhashani to Remain a Source of Inspiration

The acting chairman of the BNP, Tarique Rahman, has stated that Maulana Abdul Hamid Khan Bhashani will always serve as a source of inspiration for the struggle for the rights of the oppressed, democracy, human rights, freedom, and national sovereignty.

In a message issued on Sunday, 16 November, marking the 49th anniversary of Maulana Bhashani’s death, Tarique Rahman said, “Maulana Bhashani’s deep love for the nation, his protection of the country and its people, and his opposition to the enemies of democracy and humanity will continue to inspire us for generations. If we can truly follow his ideals, we will be able to achieve our goals.”

Tarique Rahman emphasised that Maulana Bhashani is an unforgettable name in the national history of Bangladesh. “He was a symbol of resistance against imperialism, colonialism, and domination. As the leader of the oppressed, Maulana Bhashani provided unwavering and courageous leadership from the British anti-colonial movement to the struggle for the rights of the subcontinent’s downtrodden.”

Tarique Rahman further stated that Maulana Bhashani will remain eternally remembered as the guide for the country’s liberation. “During the Liberation War, democratic movements, and the fight for the rights of farmers, workers, and the working class, Maulana Bhashani was a beacon of hope. His stance was always against oppression and in favour of the oppressed.”

He added, “Through his fearless and robust leadership, Maulana Bhashani gave the people of this country the courage to fight for their rights. His thunderous calls would shake the throne of tyrannical rulers and exploiters. In the darkest times of the nation, he stood by the people’s interests, earning their trust and faith.”
