Poet and editor of Dainik Jugantor, Abdul Hai Shikder, stated that over the last 15 years, many poets in Bangladesh have merely acted as “praisers,” misleading the nation instead of guiding it. He urged the public to remain cautious about such writers. He made these remarks on Saturday at a discussion titled “The Role of Poets and Writers in Nation Building” held at the National Press Club in Dhaka. The event was inaugurated jointly by former Justice Abdus Salam Mamun and poet Mousumi Mou, with Additional Secretary Mohammad Sakhawat Hossain presiding. Noted discussants included philosopher-poet Kumar Sushanta Sarkar, Barrister Abdullah Al Mamun, poet Mirza Kamal, and Brigadier General Nazma Begum Naju. Speakers emphasized that poets and writers must help shape moral consciousness and cultural integrity to strengthen the nation.
