The Bhashani Smriti Sangsad urged yesterday to observe the 31st death anniversary of Moulana Abdul Hamid Khan Bhashani at the state level with due honour on November 17.

Leaders of the sangsad also called for inclusion of lessons on the life and works of Bhashani in the textbooks of schools and colleges, as he contributed a lot to the liberation of the country.

They said Bangladesh emerged as an independent country in the map of the globe due to contributions of three national leaders, including Moulana Bhashani, but now he was neglected.

Citing his sacrifice for the country and the people in the pro-liberation period and after liberation, they said the Caretaker Government should take steps to pay proper respects to Moulana Bhashani and observe his death anniversary at the state level with due honour on November 17.
