Literary personalities at a discussion have called upon the people to follow ideals of National Poet Kazi Nazrul Islam to establish universal humanism against injustice, inequality and communalism in the society.
They made the call at the discussion in a special function organised by Rangpur Sahitya-Sangskriti Parishad (RSSP) on its office premises here on Friday night to celebrate the 119th birth anniversary of the national poet.
The RSSP, a literary-cum-cultural organisation, chalked out programmes like recitation of Nazrul poems and self-composed poems dedicated to Nazrul, rendering Nazrul’s songs, Hamd and Na’at and cultural evening to pay due respect to the great poet.
Acting Regional Director of Rangpur Kendra of Bangladesh Betar Dr Mohammad Harunur Rashid attended the function as the chief guest with RSSP President Aftab Hossain in the chair.
