Professor Dr AAMS Arefin Siddique, Vice-Chancellor (VC) of Dhaka University (DU) called upon all to rake up the spirit of Bangla language by which being inspired the language martyrs sacrificed their lives during the Language Movement in 1952.
“Bangla was practiced more correctly during Pakistan period in spite of hurdles made by Pakistani occupiers, but now we have been stumbled from our track,” he said this on Monday while addressing the inaugural function of an ever first mobile application “Bangla Bee” at his latter’s office.
Assistant Professor of Bangla Department of Jagannath University (JnU) Sharif Siraj and Software Engineers Redwan Islam, Mashrur Anik and Amlan Oitijya made the App aiming to ensure for using of Bangla language in a correct manner.
Urging to reinstate the spirit of Bangla, the VC also hoped that the App “Bangla Bee” will play a vital role in practicing Bangla correctly.
Prof Arefin said, “There was no signboard or billboard which had carried any other languages without Bangla in Bangladesh (East Pakistan) during 1950s and 1960s decades. But now we are yet to ensure use of Bangla language at every step of our life although the High Court already directed in this regard.”
