ULAB celebrates birth anniversary of Bangabandhu

Campus Report :

University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh (ULAB) celebrated the birth anniversary of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and National Children’s Day on Wednesday at its Dhanmondi campus in the capital.
The program started with the welcome speech by ULAB Emeritus Prof Rafiqul Islam. The chief guest of the event was Dr Syed Anwar Husain, Prof, Department of History, University of Dhaka.
In his speech, Dr Husain said, ” If we divide the whole the world in parallel, two things that can perceive, one is progress and another one is change and these are the elements that create history. Right and positive changes are desired to all and everyone. In the context of Bangladesh, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was the hero of this desired change. He has worked as a catalyst for bringing a change in the history of Bangladesh and for its people. He is memorable and acceptable to the people of home and in abroad. His popularity has always been doubled to the people of abroad rather than people from our own land. Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was the most successful leaders who knew how to create bridge between a leader and a nation’s people. Nelson Mandela rightly said, Bangabandhu was the main record of freedom.”
Paying tribute to the memory of the greatest Bengali of all time Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Prof Rafiqul Islam requested everyone to take part in this event with much affection and seriousness.
A documentary named “Bijoyer Mohanayak” directed by Moinul Hossain Mukul, was also screened in the program.
