Dr Hasan Mahmud, minister of information and broadcasting and joint general secretary of the Awami League (AL), stated on Wednesday that everyone should stand together against the evil forces and those who support them in their efforts to distort the language and change the culture.
"Though regrettable, it is true that BNP is the chief patron of those who tried to do so-called Islamization of the language by introducing Bengali writing in Arabic alphabet, banned Rabindranath's songs in East Bengal, wanted to take away and change our language and culture with violent paws, and who are in dilemma whether they are Bangalee or Bangladeshi even after the 52 years of independence," he said.
The minister said this while addressing the two-day 'Jatiya Shahithya Utshab-2023' organised by Narayanganj Zila Samity at Jatiya Press Club in the city with its President and Textiles and Jute Minister Golam Dastagir Gazi in the chair.
