On the 126th birth anniversary of Bangladesh's national poet Kazi Nazrul Islam, BNP’s Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman paid tribute to the revolutionary bard. In his message, Rahman described Nazrul as “a fearless fighter for justice, equality, and humanity” and “an uncompromising opponent of imperialism and oppression.” He noted that Nazrul’s poetry and songs inspired Bangladesh’s liberation struggle and continue to fuel patriotism. “Even under royal persecution, he never wavered from his commitment to truth and beauty,” Rahman said.
