• 23 February, 2021 marks 52^nd Anniversary of being bestowed the title “Bangabandhu” of the undisputed leader of the Bengali nation, the Greatest Bengali of all time, Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The legend leader of the emancipation and independence of the Bangali nation Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was bestowed the title “Bangabandhu” on behalf of millions of people in the Ramna Race Course Maidan (now Suhrawardy Udyan) in 23 February immediate after coming back from the month of inevitable death.
• In 21 February, 1969 a huge students-public meeting held in Paltan Maidan where president of Chattra Sangram Parishad and vice-president of DUCSU Tofael Ahmed chaired the meeting. From this students-public meeting student forum declared 24 hours ultimatum to the Ayub Khan Government to withdrawal Agartala Conspiracy case and to release Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and all political leaders unconditionally. For the non-compromising and heroic role of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, increasing mass-uprising under the leadership of Chattra Sangram Parishad and in the background of differentiation and division in the actual Pakistani Government, the so called Iron Man Ayub Khan compelled to bow down at the end. In 22 February, 1969 Agartala conspiracy case was withdrawn and Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was freed from jail unconditionally. At the Same time other political leaders throughout the country were freed from jail unconditionally also.
• Being emotionally outburst Bengali nation became almost crazy to see Sheikh Mujibur Rahman for a while. Central Chattra Sangram Parishad took decision to give Sheikh Mujibur Rahman a mass reception on 23 February. Millions of people gathered in Ramna Race Course Maidan (now Suhrawardy Udyan). In this ocean of people where vice-president of DUCSU Tofael Ahmed chaired the meeting, in his speech Tofael Ahmed conferred Sheikh Mujibur Rahman the title “Bangabandhu”. Student leaders and present people supported this declaration raising their two hands up. In that significant moment an emotional environment was created in Ramna Race Course Maidan (now Suhrawardy Udyan).
• The great protestor of the eternal deception, bondage and subjugation, insult and disgrace, mental agitation, robbing of right of the Bengali nation and the great revolutionist of the liberation struggle of the Bengali nation, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman became “Bangabandhu” through absolute love of the heart of the people of Bengali nation. The title Bangabandhu left behind a perpetual legacy of an eternal love, respect, reverence, emotion and passion of the Bengali Nation which is universal, unforgettable and vigilant forever in the heart and mind of the Bengali Nation. “Bangabandhu” is seated in the heart of crores of Bengali people with deep love and profound respect forever.
