'If India had not given us shelter, we would have drowned in the Bay of Bengal'. - LGRD Minister


Jamalpur Correspondent January 7, 2022 21:36

Minister of Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives. Tajul Islam says, friendship and friends can be changed. But the neighborhood can never be changed. India is our neighbor. In the war of independence of 1971, there was Bay of Bengal on one side and India on the other. If India had not given shelter to one crore people, we would have had no choice but to drown in the Bay of Bengal.

The Indian government gave the country an opportunity to become independent by providing shelter and aid in the war. So India will be our lifelong neighbor, that's for sure.

After unveiling the inaugural nameplate of the newly constructed ‘Faridul Haq Khan Dulal Auditorium’ at a cost of Tk 7.5 crore in Jamalpur's Islampur Upazila on Saturday afternoon, Local Government Minister Md. Tajul Islam said these things. The Upazila Parishad organized the event.

The local government minister said that during the rule of Bangabandhu, after the Indira agreement with India, various organizations of the country claimed that Bangladesh had been sold. But after the implementation of the agreement, it was seen that Bangladesh has benefited. As long as Bangladesh is in the hands of Awami League and Bangabandhu Kanya, Bangladesh will be developed.

He further said that 21 years after independence, the anti-independence clique came to power and destroyed the country. The Awami League under the leadership of Sheikh Hasina came to power and restructured the country. From a middle income country, Bangladesh is now going to become a developed country. When the Awami League is out of power, 64 districts of the country are bombed simultaneously. In the last 13 years, Sheikh Hasina has set a record in the power sector, industry and food production of the country. No one will be able to stop the progress of this development if everyone from the Awami League and the administration is united against the anti-independence forces.

Deputy Commissioner Mursheda Zaman presided over the inaugural ceremony, the special guest spoke. Faridul Haque Khan MP, reserved seat MP Hosne Ara, Senior Secretary to the Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives Helaluddin Ahmed, District Awami League President Advocate Muhammad Baki Billah, General Secretary and District Council Chairman Faruk Ahmed Chowdhury, District Council Chief Executive Officer Khandaker Mohammad Abdullah Al Mahmud, Islampur Upazila Parishad Chairman Jamal Abdun Naser Babul, Municipal Mayor Abdul Quader Sheikh, Bir Muktijoddha Manikul Islam Manik and others.

Earlier, the Minister of Local Government. Tajul Islam inspected the proposed project area for construction of road and construction of two bridges from Guthail Seaport-Sirajabad-Bakshiganj Kamalpur Land Port of the upazila. State Minister for Religion at the time. Faridul Haque Khan, Helaluddin Ahmed, Senior Secretary, Department of Local Government, Sheikh Mohammad Mohsin, Chief Engineer, LGED, Md. Chief Engineer, Department of Public Health Engineering. Saifur Rahman was with him.

'If India had not given us shelter, we would have drowned in the Bay of Bengal'. - LGRD Minister

And without our Mukti Bahini helping those coward IA troops, PA troops would have won the 1971 war. India should not forget it that only 1300 deaths of IA troops could not give India a win in a riverine country that they are not accustomed to.

But why this Indian is posting something that is irrelevant? India should be ever grateful to BD people for awarding India a win at the cost of only 1,300 lives of the IA troops.

Rather, it is India that should kowtow our Muktis.

We’re the ones who armed the Mukti Bahini and we’re the ones who took the refugees, if you still feel yourself as a one man army then do tell me who was the one who came to support you when whole world was against us for being non aligned. You hate India, its fine but remember that you would not have been Bangladesh which you are today. WP would have suppressed your voices and you would have still been EP. An average Indian doesn’t hate Bangladesh but when we see people like you on the internet speaking nonsense against India every minute is when we think that you’re not friendly.

Our mistake? Was it Pakistanis who had secret meetings with RAW and KGB and started creating unrest in Bangladesh?

Or was it us who delivered AK47s to Dhaka uni in guise of book pellets ?

Or was it us who did "Jute crop" propaganda?

We all know who planned the game to divide us and who helped them.

Indians learned well from Soviets and mastered propaganda.

Thanks for accepting the fact that you trained and armed Muktis. As I said india was one of the Soviet pawns who helped Soviets in their game.

And this poster is good at this. As he knows forum authority will not take any permanent action other than just sending him to short vacation!

Why are you bringing India to it? Why you are telling IA troops as coward? Wars are won over dead bodies and the numbers are not counted. 1300 or 13000, it doesn't matter.
Good that you have to accepted it, without India's active military intervention liberation of BD was not possible.
The poster is a claimed BD, if you think otherwise, report to moderators, close his account.

On topic, do you know many of those dislodged people's property are taken by Vested Property Act by BD govt? When they tried to return they were not recognized as if they never existed. Court, successive govt has turned their pleas down. Good example is the property of Dhirendranath Dutta.
