The president, Zillur Rahman, has said utmost efforts would have to be made to bring back the convicted condemned killers of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman who fled abroad to execute the court verdict.
He made the remark while addressing a discussion meeting at the city's Osmani Memorial auditorium, organised by Gopalganj District Samity-Dhaka, marking National Mourning Day and the 36th death anniversary of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Speaking as chief guest, the president said although it came after long 35 years, judgment of the killers of Mujib and his slain family members had been accomplished on the soil of Bangladesh and the nation had now become mostly free from the stigma.
About 'Vision 2021', the president said the prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, has declared 'Vision-2010' to bring smiles to the faces of the distressed millions in the country.
He urged the countrymen to engage themselves in the nation-building activities from their respective positions rising above all greed and narrow-mindedness to turn Bangladesh into a happy and prosperous country.
Zillur Rahman recalled that the aim and objective of Mujib's life was to improve the lot of the impoverished people and he always stood by the oppressed and deprived people.
Awami League presidium member Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim, commerce minister M Faruk Khan, and Bangladesh Bank governor Atiur Rahman also spoke at the function, chaired by Sheikh Kabir Hossain of Gopalganj Samity.
