Pls wear masks, keep your loved ones safe: Radwan Mujib

GBNEWS24 DESK//

Radwan Mujib Siddiq, grandson of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and trustee of Centre for Research & Information (CRI), has urged all to wear masks to remain safe from Covid-19 virus.

“There’s light at the end of the tunnel but we can’t put our guard down yet, so please wear a mask and keep your loved ones safe,” he said, thanking all for the warm birthday wishes to him.

Radwan, the eldest among three children of Bangabandhu’s younger daughter Sheikh Rehana and academician Shafiq Ahmed Siddique, Radwan was born on May 21, 1980, turned 41, reports UNB.

His sister, Tulip Siddiq, is a British MP representing London’s Hampstead and Kilburn.

Their father Shafiq had worked in several universities in Bangladesh and abroad.

Followers keep greeting him soon after zero hour as CRI and Young Bangla shared two messages on their verified Facebook pages greeting Radwan.

“Thank you for the warm birthday wishes everyone! The children have come up with an excellent plan to replace all meals with cake while we have a quiet one at home,” he wrote in a post shared on Facebook.

A year ago, Radwan said, he was sure that things would be back to normal by now (the trouble with being an optimist..) but there’s a long way to go before everyone is protected from the virus.

Radwan is credited with initiating creative and analytic projects – from architecting Mujib graphic novel to co-producing the docufiction Hasina: A Daughter’s Tale to bringing forth Joy Bangla Concert to editing the country’s policy-based magazine WhiteBoard.

The trend he set in motion of presenting history in the form of stories, films, and concerts revived the interest of the young generation in the country’s history.
