Bangiya Sahitya-Sanskriti Sangsad
A discussion on ‘Role of Culture in the Prevention of Women’s Oppression’ organised by Bangiya Sahitya-Sanskriti Sangsad was held at the VIP Seminar Hall of Public Library in city’s Shahbag. State Minister for Information Dr Murad Hasan was present as the chief guest in the programme held recently. While speaking Murad said the practice of Bengali culture can play an important role in preventing the oppression of women. “In our four thousand years-old Bengali culture, women have never been humiliated, rather they have been honoured in many aspects. Our culture should have to be spread for this reason,” he said. Murad Hassan also said both culture and religion show respect towards women which also helps stopping women oppression. Poet Asim Saha presided over the event. The function was also addressed, among others, by Poet Aslam Sani and cultural activist FM Shaheen.
