This event was organized on the occasion of the 3rd founding anniversary of the Chittagong Metropolitan Branch and the Great Victory Day.
In the speech of the chief guest. Abul Kalam said that the culture of India and Bangladesh has existed since ancient times. As a result of the partition of the country, the territory was divided but the culture was not divided. Many cultures including Barindra Nath, Nazrul, Lalon are still practiced in the two Bengals. Because Bangladesh has the government of Sheikh Hasina, cultural ties are still flowing. Sheikh Hasina’s government is supporting the national level for the development of culture.
The main discussant of the program, former convenor of Chittagong Awami Jubo League and metropolitan Awami League leader Mohiuddin Bachchu, said that the culture of India and Bangladesh is thousands of years old. In continuation of this, in 1971, India not only cooperated in our great liberation war but also fought it. This is only possible because the continuity of culture has always been there. It is our hope that the Indo-Bangladesh cultural friendship will take one step further.
