The country needed him now’

At a discussion marking the first death anniversary of Serajul Alam Khan, speakers highlighted the need for his leadership in today’s times of criminalised politics. They praised his pivotal role in the six-point movement and the Liberation War. Attendees, including politicians and activists, recalled his uncompromising approach and contributions that were integral to Bangladesh’s independence. They expressed concerns about capitalism’s criminalised form in Bangladesh today and stated overcoming it would require even greater efforts than in the past, noting the void left by Serajul’s absence in this struggle.
