He said these things while speaking as a special guest at a memorial meeting organized by the Shaheed Jihad Smriti Parishad for the 90s anti-dictatorship movement at the Kazi Nazrul Islam Auditorium of the National Press Club on Saturday afternoon.

BNP Joint Secretary General and MP Khairul Kabir Khokon moderated the meeting.
Zahir Uddin Swapan said that the main profession of political activists is not only movement or struggle, but also fulfilling the fundamental rights of the people of the country.
Recalling the sacrifices of martyrs Jihad, Abu Sayeed and Mughad, he said that there is no alternative to implementing the 31-point plan announced by Prime Minister Tarique Rahman to free the country from the clutches of fascism and form a modern and science-oriented state.
The Prime Minister’s political advisor said that Bangladesh must accelerate in the era of artificial intelligence and information technology in line with the world. The main responsibility of the state and political workers is now to form an effective parliament and mobilize the national economy to implement the blood pledge of the martyrs, rather than being confined to the history of movement and sacrifice.
