RAJSHAHI, Jan 4, 2023 (BSS)- Rajshahi Mayor and Awami League Presidium Member AHM Khairuzzaman Liton said leaders and workers of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) will play a pivotal role in building Smart Bangladesh.
 
"Digital Bangladesh has already been built and time has come to build Smart Bangladesh with the prudent and farsighted leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina," he said while addressing the 75th founding anniversary celebration of BCL at Rajshahi College here today as the chief guest.
 
City Awami League President Muhammad Ali Kamal, general secretary Dablu Sarker, vice-president Shafiqur Rahman and Joint-secretary Mustaque Hossain also addressed the meeting with BCL city unit president Muhammad Siam in the chair.
 
Mayor Liton urged the BCL leaders and workers to supplement Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's efforts of attaining Rupkolpa 2041 through engaging themselves in nation-building activities.
 
The present government is working relentlessly for the overall development of the country. So, all the BCL members should extend their sincere support for successful implementation of those.
 
Liton said the BCL played a heroic role in all the movements, including the great Liberation War and urged the present leaders and workers to continue the tradition for welfare of the nation.
 
"You (BCL men) have to develop leadership characteristics among yourselves to lead the future Bangladesh competently," he reminded the BCL leaders.
 
Liton also said the BCL should take the responsibility of directing the young generation on the right tack instead of any misdeed and malpractice.
Earlier, the city mayor inaugurated the daylong celebration programmes through releasing balloons and festoons at the city unit Awami League office.
 
He also distributed education materials among underprivileged children and sewing machines among distressed women to the celebration.
