UNB, Dhaka :
Country’s noted academics stress the importance of improving the average standard of Bangla – both written and spoken ones – to show due respect to the heroes who had laid down their lives to protect the mother tongue in 1952.
Talking to UNB, three prominent academics of the country – Professor Emeritus Anisuzzaman, Professor Emeritus Serajul Islam Choudhury and Professor Syed Manzurul Islam – underlined the need for raising the awareness of people to improve the language skill rather than getting emotional in a particular month.
They said learning and using it properly is the right way to show respect for the language martyrs.
Talking to UNB, Prof Anisuzzaman said the Language Movement had taken place due to people’s strong will to implement Bangla in their personal lives. “But, people now have got deviated from the spirit for various reasons.”
“So, to materialise the dreams of the language martyrs and implement Bangla in every sphere of life, their will power must be invigorated again. The government cannot do this alone. All must come forward to create a social awareness so that people can learn and practise Bangla correctly.” he observed.
Anisuzzaman, also the Bangla Academy Chairman, bemoaned that Bangla is being used wrongly at all levels, including offices and mass media, both in its written and spoken forms.
