DHAKA: In a historic step, Bangladesh marked Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s death anniversary in Dhaka for the first time.
The 76th death anniversary of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founding father of Pakistan, was commemorated at the National Press Club in Dhaka with Urdu songs and poetry on Wednesday.
Speakers on the occasion shed light on numerous aspects of Jinnah’s life, remarking that Pakistan would not have been created without him, and without Pakistan, “Bangladesh too would not exist.”
Unfortunately, the Pakistani high commissioner to Bangladesh was unable to attend the event as chief guest. However, Deputy High Commissioner Kamran Dhangal was in attendance.
Presenting the keynote paper, Prof Dr Mostafizur Rahman outlined events from the life of Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
Jafarul Haq Jafar recited an Urdu poem about Jinnah, while two Pakistani students studying in Bangladesh, Mohammad Tahir and Kamran Abbas, performed songs in Urdu dedicated to him.
