CRI Vice President and Autism Specialist Saima Wazed Hossain called on everyone to provide more opportunities for young people to move the country forward. She called for a change in thinking that “Bangabangu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman became the founder of a state by participating in politics for the benefit of the community at a young age.”
Saima, Bangabandhu’s granddaughter and daughter of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, made the call while participating in the final session of the three-day, seven-episode Let’s Talk program hosted by Young Bangla, an affiliate of the Center for Research and Information (CRI), the Sunday (September 8).
At the time, Saima Hossain said: “Although young, many people know a lot and can show the way; It is in the history of our country. If we think of our war of independence, if we think of the founder of our country … my grandfather (Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman), then we will see: he started as a young volunteer.
Saima, the Climate Vulnerable Forum (CVF) ambassador, said: ‘Bangabandhu’s life did not start with politics, it did not start with any great organization. They came later. He had worked before in his life, he saw a gap in his community, he saw his colleagues, he thought: how to help them? And from there he went up. His leadership qualities were created from there, from his youth, from his community activism. He had some moral values of his own, he had some impulses, he followed that compass … Not that he did not face obstacles, he faced many obstacles. But even then he seized the opportunity and from there his leadership quality was built. That is why we have finally established ourselves as a nation. He learned from there. ‘
Regarding youth, Saima Hossain added: “So we need to learn these things from a very young age and if we want our country to improve, then it is everyone’s responsibility to create these opportunities for our youth.”
Saima also spoke about the recommendations made in the discussion of the last few days on Let’s Talk. He said, ‘Why am I teaching young people to read, to teach in school? Are you ready for them? What are they learning there? Learning to read or learning values? What will the Essence of Nationalism be like, how will it contribute to the country, how will the community get involved? We really should do these things. ‘
Young Bangla has been organizing this event under the title ‘Let’s Talk’ since 2014 to build a bridge between the country’s policy makers and the youth. In addition to the three-day opening and closing episodes, Let’s Talk ran on five topics in two days. The recommendations that came in those programs were highlighted at the closing ceremony.
Planning Minister MA Mannan, the young Bengal coordinator Nahim Rajjam, Prime Minister’s Chief Secretary Ahmed Kaikaus and others also participated in the final session.
