Dipu Moni said that main identity of women is that they are a human beings. Women have to overcome the obstacles in front of them with their own strengths and abilities. Women must be brought forward beside men in a bid to implement the potentials of the world and Bangabandhu tried to establish a nondiscriminatory society.
Tipu Munshi said Walton has inspired us in many ways. Salman F Rahman visited the Walton factory days ago and I also went there. We are overwhelmed to see such a beautiful factory. We will visit the Walton factory with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina one day as it is more beautiful than it imagined. Walton has been exporting products in various countries as we expect a lot from them.
Golam Murshed also said that mother, mother tongue and the motherland are our emotions. We are now celebrating 50 years of independence. We have got three women at the highest level. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Speaker Dr. Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury, Education Minister Dr. Dipu Moni. When women lead in a country, there is no need to give any other example of women’s success there.
Golam Murshed appreciated the Entrepreneur Project. ‘I hope that the WEND will soon launch programs like Bangabandhu Innovation Grant (BIG) with women entrepreneurs,’ he said.
