Jahangirnagar University Vice-Chancellor Professor Kamrul Ahsan stated that the people of Bangladesh have faced economic, political, and social inequality at various times. He made the remarks on Thursday while speaking to journalists after placing a wreath at the National Martyrs’ Memorial on the occasion of Independence Day. He emphasized that nothing can be compared to the Liberation War, describing it as the birth of Bangladesh and a continuous effort to heal the nation.
In his message, the Vice-Chancellor said independence symbolizes the nation’s dignity, courage, and sacrifice. He noted that every page of history bears the stories, blood, and bravery of those who fought for freedom. According to him, independence is not merely a state right but an emotion nurtured in every individual’s heart. Even after 55 years, he observed, the expression of this emotion has often been obstructed.
The event was attended by university officials, including pro-vice-chancellors, the treasurer, deans, the acting registrar, provosts, teachers, students, officers, and staff. After the Vice-Chancellor’s tribute, various university organizations also paid their respects at the memorial.
