Government officials at all levels, including Dhaka, have demonstrated to demand exemplary punishment for those who attacked the sculpture of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
At the Bangabandhu Conference Center in Dhaka, a meeting of all the cadres of BCS – Forum of Government Officials – was organized chaired by the Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister Ahmed Kaikaus.
In his speech, Ahmed Kaikaus said: “We, the 29th Cadre Service, pledge today that we will not allow disrespect to the Father of the Nation. Joy Bangla is the motto of our liberation war. Why don’t we all say Joy Bangla at the end of the speech? I hope to start from today and, if necessary, I will take permission from the government.
IGP Benazir Ahmed, president of all BCS cadre associations and government officials at almost all levels, attended.
They are protesting at a time when news broke a day earlier that the government had agreed to hold an engagement meeting with the leaders of various Islamic organizations that oppose the sculpture.
Speaking at the rally, IGP police Benazir Ahmed said: “Father of independence, the constitution, the state and the nation: no one can touch them.”
We will take care of them. Bangabandhu gave him the country, the flag, the map. Attacking him is an attack on the constitution and the state. The state must treat him harshly according to the rules.
“I urge the prime minister to crack down on those who have disrespected the Father of the Nation,” said Golam Sarwar Bhuiyan, secretary general of the BCS Audit and Accounts Association.
BCS Fiscal Association General Secretary Fazle Hayat Kaiser said: “If Bangabandhu had not been born, Bangladesh would not exist, and if not Bangladesh, there would not be so many cadre services. Those who broke the sculpture are anti-national, I demand exemplary punishment for them. ‘
“There are still some people in this country who disrespect the father of the nation,” said the customs commissioner, secretary general of the BCS Dry and Excise Cadre Association. It looks like a jacket that is closed with a cord. I have a strong hatred for them.
He said: ‘There are sculptures in many Muslim countries. Have we become more Muslim then? In fact, they want to attack freedom. Independence, sovereignty, Bangabandhu: there is no room for debate.
Golam Kibria, president of the BCS Information Cadre Association, said: “Government officials will speak out against those who are against independence.”
“The sculpture is not a religious subject at all, it is part of the work of art. Bangladesh has been practicing it for years. Suddenly, there is a lot of talk about the Bangabandhu sculpture. This is politics. Officials must have a position on the question of independence.
Ashraful Alam, Chief Public Works Engineer, on behalf of the BCS Public Works Cadre, said: “Those who want to take the wheel of Bangladesh have chosen the defeated power of 1971 as the centenary of the birth of Bangabandhu.”
“They broke the sculpture in the dead of night. We just can’t accept it. ‘
The leaders of the BCS Officers Association in nearly every industry, including the BCS Association of Highway and Highway Engineers, the BCS Telecommunications Association, the BCS Agriculture Board and the BCS Education Board, are meeting leading the meeting.
