Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi has said all must work for the welfare of the public by following the ideals of Bangamata Begum Fazilatunnesa Mujib.
"Bangamata is the source of inspiration for the nation. Although she was a very ordinary housewife, her extraordinary decision paved the way for the Bengali nation to achieve independence," he said while addressing a discussion on Fazilatunnesa Mujib Sunday (8 August) marking her 92nd birth anniversary.
Before Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's 7 March speech, she gave the right advice to Bangabandhu and similarly opposed his parole seeking unconditional release, added the minister.
