r programmes accordingly,” she said, adding that her party in its election manifesto had also given special importance on culture. The Prime Minister made the observations in her introductory speech before the high officials of the Ministry of Cultural Affairs and its different subordinate bodies at the Ministry’s conference room at Bangladesh Secretariat. Cultural Affairs Minister Asaduzzaman Noor gave the address of welcome while PMO Senior Secretary Md Abul Kalam Azad, Cultural Affairs Secretary Ranjit Kumar Biswas and PM’s Press Secretary AKM Shameem Chowdhuri were present. Mentioning that the practice of culture and literature provides entertainment for mind, Hasina said the people of Bangladesh are usually cultural minded. She said that since the country has attained self-sufficiency in food as well food security and there is no more crisis for food, now there is a need for providing entertainment for mind giving more importance on cultural practice. The Prime Minister said that her government has been working tirelessly to preserve and further flourish the Bangalee identity. She also reminded that all would have to remain careful and alert so that alien culture could not invade the minds of people in the country and “our own cultural traditions remain intact.” In this connection, Hasina emphasized on conducting researches side by side projecting the Bangalee national identity, culture and literature before the new generation through digital technology. She said the national identity of any nation lies in its culture and education and a country is developed socio-economically only when there is massive practice of own culture. “For this, practice of own culture is very much indispensable for us.” The Prime Minister said it is not correct to say that her government does not put due importance on culture, “Rather, it was the military dictators who did not give importance on culture as they had preferred enjoying state power,” she added. Noting that the country had gone backwards from the spirit and ideology of the war of liberation after the assassination of Bangabandhu in 1975, Hasina said that the country would have to be built in such a way that this nation could move forward holding its head high in the global arena. “We’ll have to build the country. Since we’re a victorious nation, we couldn’t move with the ideology of the defeated forces. We’ll have to maintain our independent national identity,” she said, adding that the age-old traditions of the country would have to be preserved alongside keeping intact the Bangalee culture and tradition.
