Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. Mahmood Hossain spoke as the chief guest in the meeting. He said that the Freedom War of 1971 was the last way that Bangladesh could be free. But before this, since 1757, there have been times in history when people fought for freedom. In 214 years, we failed to gain independence. However, we did so under the leadership of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, who is known as the "father of the nation" and the best leader of all time. The vice chancellor added, "We have got freedom, but we have not yet achieved what we mean by final liberation - building a Bangladesh without hunger, poverty, and discrimination." He also said that the next generation will be patriotic if they learn about the country's fight for freedom and the lives lost in the independence war.
