Now let us all work together for the country," he said.The prime minister was addressing a function after inaugurating a tree plantation programme on the bank of the Sagardi Canal at the Trish Godown Mass Killing Ground area here this afternoon.Recalling the Liberation War, Tarique Rahman said people from all walks of life, irrespective of political affiliation, religion, caste and creed, had fought together to achieve the country's independence.The same spirit of unity, he said, was demonstrated during the movement that toppled the autocratic regime."Only a few days ago, we drove autocracy out of this country. People from all walks of life, regardless of religion or opinion, came out on the streets together to remove it. This means that if we all stand shoulder to shoulder and work for the country and its people, everyone will benefit," he said.Later, the prime minister inaugurated the tree plantation drive by planting a coconut sapling.A prayer and munajat were offered after the plantation.
