Let’s not allow bigots to take over Bangladesh

Professor Emeritus Anisuzzaman yesterday urged all to work in unison so that religious fanatics cannot take hold of the country.
The image of Bangladesh lies in the spirit of the Liberation War, but demands are being made to send women back to the confine of the four walls of house, he said.
All will have to work together to defend that spirit, he told a ceremony at BCS (Administration) Academy in the capital where Chandraboti Academy conferred a lifetime achievement award on the educationist for his contributions to the country.
The chief guest, Finance Minister AMA Muhith, said just as a light house was to a sailor, Prof Anisuzzaman was to society.
Chandraboti Academy has published “Akash Amay Bhorlo Aloy”, a book containing the life, works and some rare pictures of Prof Anisuzzaman, edited by the academy adviser Mahfuzur Rahman.
Executive Director of Ain o Salish Kendra Sultana Kamal and Chittagong University’s Prof Golam Mostafa, among others, spoke on the occasion.
Chandraboti Academy Executive Director Kamruzzaman Kajal gave the welcome speech function, chaired by Dhaka University Vice Chancellor Prof AAMS Arefin Siddique.
