BSS: Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader today criticized the observance of BNP chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia’s birthday as she has six different birth dates, terming the matter as a mockery.
“Khaleda Zia used to do mockery with the nation every year by celebrating fake birthday on August 15 which is observed as ‘National Mourning Day’. According to marriage certificate her birthday is September 5, 1945 where in passport certificate, it is given as August 19,1945. As per the matriculation certificate, Begum Zia’s birthday was August 9, 1945 and later, she again claimed that her birthday was August 15 ,1945,” he said.
He said this while addressing virtually a discussion organized by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) on the occasion of National Mourning Day from his residence here.
The minister further said Begum Zia has now revealed the long-standing secret of a person having so many birthdays because finally, as per the information given for the COVID-19 test revealed that Khaleda Zia’s birthday was May 8, 1946.
About the defeated clique, he said, “Awami League believes in liberal democracy and politics and that is why they are getting opportunity to do politics in this country even after so much bloodshed.”
He added that the evil forces did not stop with the brutal massacre on August 15, they also killed four national leaders in jail on November 3 to make the nation leaderless.
The conspiracy then took on a new form as in broad daylight the state machinery was used to carry out ‘Dhaka grenade attack’ on August 21, 2004 targeting Awami League president Sheikh Hasina at an anti-terrorism rally, he continued.
