Adviser Sharmin S. Murshid has urged the nation to embrace a renewed sense of love, unity, and commitment. “It’s time to think afresh, to love afresh, and to move forward with everyone,” she said. “Small joys create deep meaning, while chasing big achievements often brings sorrow — which we must avoid.” She emphasized the importance of holding onto a Bangladesh built by and for all its people, making this a collective vow for the New Year. Referring to the sacrifices of the younger generation during past movements, she said, “I don’t know if they saw the dream they gave their lives for, but we must dream it on their behalf.” Addressing the youth, she reminded them that they represent 51% of the population through the Ministry of Women and Children Affairs, and urged them to realize their immense potential and power — power that, if recognized, would never let such a vital ministry remain sidelined.
