Freedom fighters won’t tolerate any affront towards Bangabandhu: Liberation War minister

The country's freedom fighters will not tolerate any affront towards Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Liberation War Minister AKM Mozammel Haque said today.

On Bangabandhu's call, freedom fighters had submitted their weapons but did not give up their training.

The minister said this while speaking as chief guest at a discussion organised on the occasion of "Kapilmuni Mukto Dibos" at Kapilmuni Sahachari Vidya Mandir ground in Paikgachha upazila of Khulna.

The minister said there are sculptures in all major Muslim countries of the world and there are sculptures in Bangladesh for quite a long ago too.

"No one ever talked about anything about those sculptures. But suddenly anti-liberation war elements are showing audacity against the sculpture of Bangabandhu," he said.

"The heroic freedom fighters will not tolerate such audacity in any way. At the call of Bangabandhu, the heroic freedom fighters submitted weapons but did not submit training," he vowed.

The minister said opposition to Bangabandhu's sculpture is part of a series of conspiracies by the anti-liberation war elements.
