AL vows to build Sonar Bangla

Awami League leaders on Saturday vowed to build a Sonar Bangla under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina by thwarting all conspiracies.

They made the pledge at a brief rally in front of the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB) before bringing out a colorful procession marking the country's golden jubilee of independence and Mujib Barsho.

AL Advisory Council Member and 14-party alliance spokesperson and coordinator Amir Hossain Amu chaired the rally.

The party leaders said that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina reached Bangladesh a dignified position at the international level.

But the anti-state conspiracies are being hatching both at home and abroad, he said. The AL leaders pledged of marching forward by facing all undemocratic and communal forces politically.

The 'Victory Procession' was brought out from in front of the historic Suhrawardy Udyan where Pakistani occupation forces had surrendered to the allied forces on December 16, 1971.

The procession drew a huge crowd with national and party flags, banners and festoons, placards, posters having photographs of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Bangabandhu's grandson Sajeeb Wazed Joy.
