Dhaka University Vice-Chancellor Dr Md Akhtaruzzaman has urged everyone to work unitedly to build a non-communal and prosperous Bangladesh being imbued with the values and dreams as dreamt by Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
“There is no alternative to collective efforts to build the country as a non-communal and prosperous one as dreamt by Bangabandhu,” he said while addressing a discussion at university’s Abdul Matin Chowdhury Virtual Classroom, marking the National Mourning Day.
