Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus today expressed profound shock and sorrow at the death of Badruddin Umar, one of the foremost leaders of the freedom loving people’s struggle, a politician, progressive thinker, sociologist, and writer.
In a message of condolence, the Chief Adviser said, “Badruddin Umar, who started his career as a teacher at Dhaka University and later joined Rajshahi University as a faculty member, was a shining beacon of our struggle for free thought and progress”.
He added: “His active role in the Language Movement as well as his research, strong protest against colonial mindsets and unwavering commitment to socialist ideals have enriched our intellectual history.”
Professor Yunus recalled that Badaruddin Umar spoke out in favor of the popular uprisings from the beginning to change the fascist and autocratic regime and recognized the July Movement as one of the subcontinent’s unprecedented mass uprisings.বিস্তারিত
