At a discussion titled 'From Nazrul Islam to Hadi: The Struggle for Freedom' held Tuesday evening at the Supreme Court auditorium in Dhaka, Amar Desh editor Mahmudur Rahman declared that Bangladesh’s young generation would not allow any India-backed agents to come to or remain in power. He said the political theory of the country must change so that no one supported by India could be elected or retained in office.

Rahman described the July movement as a turning point that created a new generation determined to protect national sovereignty. He linked this spirit to the ideals of martyr Sharif Osman Hadi, emphasizing that Bangladesh’s independence struggle is fundamentally a cultural one that must continue against hostile neighbors. He urged preservation of the Inqilab Cultural Center, which he said was part of Hadi’s vision.

Other speakers, including Amar Desh executive editor Syed Abdal Ahmad, compared poet Kazi Nazrul Islam’s anti-colonial voice to Hadi’s revolutionary spirit, noting that Nazrul’s poetry inspired the July movement. The event was organized by the Cultural Research Center, Dhaka, and attended by academics, poets, and family members of Hadi.
