INCREASE OUTPUT

Bangabandhu today asks the working class of the country to work with missionary zeal and increase production in the fields, mills and factories. Talking to a group of workers at the Gono Bhaban, Bangabandhu says production must be increased so that the benefits of liberation could be enjoyed by all within the shortest possible time. Unless production is increased the masses could not reap the benefits of liberation, he maintains.

Bangabandhu further says socialism, as envisaged by his government, would usher in an era of peace and prosperity in the country which has long been exploited by foreign forces. He asks the workers to imbibe in themselves the spirit of socialism and work for its establishment.
