Dhaka: Bangladesh Udichi Shilpi Gosthi has expressed its determination to continue the struggle for justice and rights in the melody of folk music.
On Tuesday (October 29), the guests present expressed this determination at the Baul and Mystic song program titled 'Manush Chadaya Khyapa're Tui Mool Harabi' organized by Udichi Shilpi Gosthi at the Central Shahid Minar in the capital to mark its 56th founding anniversary.
Udichi Central Sangsad President Professor Badiur Rahman said, "We are not very easy. He said that we are scared, do you know where we have some fear? Don't lose that root. We don't lose this root. The root of humans is humanity, the root of humans is human love, human love, the call for humanity. The root of this Bengali nation is our independence. My golden Bengal, I love you, you surely remember the last two lines? Mother, if your body is dirty, I will be in tears. When does your mother's body get dirty, ask yourself. How bright is the body of the motherland, mother and now.
He said, you know that in the continuation of the quota movement, we have brought down the dictatorial government, this is our victory. We have achieved victory. Instead of one government, another government has been formed. The government is running the country. We, on behalf of the organization, can only say this much, changing the government of a country does not change the state of that country. The state Bangladesh is Smith's truth. This truth is not obtained by anyone's gift. This truth is the achievement of the Bengali nation. We cannot establish the status quo by removing any movement. Our core is this Bengali nation and Bangladesh. The achievement of Bangladesh is the Constitution of 1972. Today, there is talk of changing the constitution. How to change the constitution of a state is clearly written in the constitution. Please read it and then tell us your decision. If you go beyond the constitution on the basis of which you have taken the oath, various questions may arise. The truth is very difficult. The truth is as true as the truth. There is no deviation. For the past 56 years, the Bangladesh Udichi group has been inspiring a sense of humanity by singing songs of awakening among the people and is moving forward by doing so.
Baul saint Shafi Mandal said, Udichi is an institution before the birth of Bangladesh. It is an institution of culture and an industrial group. I hope that music will not only be entertainment, but also a tool for social change, and by organizing today's 56th founding anniversary of Udichi, we hope that we will once again remove the discrimination in our minds.
Baul saint Shafi Mandal officially inaugurated the event. Later, the discussion began under the chairmanship of Professor Badiur Rahman, President of the Udichi Central Parliament.
