‘Flag Hoisting Day’ observed at DU

DHAKA, Mar 02, 2019 (BSS)- The Dhaka University (DU) authority observed
the ‘Flag Hoisting Day’ on the campus today with due respect.

On March 2, 1971, independent Bangladesh’s national flag, with a yellow map
of Bangladesh inside a red disc in a green ambience, was hoisted amid cheers
from the spirited students at a massive gathering on the vibrant Dhaka
University campus.

The then Vice-President (VP) of Dhaka University Central Students’ Union
(DUCSU) ASM Abdur Rab hoisted the National flag of independent Bangladesh on
behalf of Swadhin Bangla Chhatra Sangram Parishad at the historic Bot-Tola
premises.

Marking the historic day of Bangalee nation, DU Vice-Chancellor (VC)
Professor Dr Md Akhtaruzzaman inaugurated a programme on the Bot-Tola
premises adjacent to Arts Building by playing the national anthem.

VC Akhtaruzzaman paid rich tribute to the father of the nation Bangabandhu
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, national four leaders, liberation war martyrs and the
DUCSU and students’ leaders, who gathered at the Bot-Tola to hoist the
national flag of Bangladesh on March 02, 1971.

“The upcoming DUCSU leaders, who will be elected through the DUCSU poll on
March 11 elections, will play pivotal role following the previous trend to
make a golden Bangla, which was dreamt by Bangabandhu,” the VC hoped.

DU Pro-VC (Academic) Prof Nasreen Ahmad, Pro-VC (Administration) Prof Poet
Dr Muhammad Samad, Treasurer Prof Kamal Uddin, Dhaka University Teachers’
Association (DUTA) president Prof Maksud Kamal, DUTA general secretary Prof
Shibli Rubaiyat-Ul Islam and other teachers and students were present at the
function.

After the discussion on the significance of the Flag Hoisting Day,
patriotic songs were performed at a cultural event.
