At the cutting edge

80th year of Muslim Institute

Aminul Islam, Mymensingh
Marking the 80 th year of Muslim Institute, Mymensingh, the members of the institute staged a play “Lorai” on March 9.
Written by noted theatre artiste and poet Farid Ahmed Dulal and directed by Md. Nazrul Islam, the play was well received by the huge audience.
The play, based on the eternal struggle between the weak and influential quarters, delineated the authentic picture of our society.
How the weak and poor who are without education or power are being deprived of their human rights and basic needs by vested interests, stimulated the audience.
Marking the celebration, a daylong
programme was held in the town.
The programme also included a rally, discussions and a cultural programme.
Deputy Commissioner of Mymensingh, Lokman Hossain Miah, inaugurated the rally in the morning.
Dr. Captain (Retd) Mujibur Rahman Fakir was the chief guest at the inaugural session. Among others, chairman of Sadar Upazila Parishad, Fayzur Rahman Fakir, and mayor of Mymensingh Municipality, Ekramul Haque Titu, were the special guests.
Professor Md. Zakir Hossain, secretary of the institute, delivered the welcome speech.
A seminar was held in the afternoon. Principal Motiur Rahman, MP
was the chief guest. Advocate Zohirul Hoque was the special guest.
Advocate AHM Khalequzzaman, a member of Muslim Institute, presided over the seminar.
The speakers at the seminar said that the then Muslim leaders established this institute in 1931 to strengthen the society through cultural and literary activities. This institute played a vital role in rendering facilities to the public, especially the Muslim youth who were in the backseat at the time, they said.
The institute, with a library enriched with hundreds of rare books, is also a centre for the intellectuals, they added. Now the institute is an integral part of the history and tradition of Mymensingh region.
