Kumar Prithwiraj Nath, Toronto, Canada
Thanks to The Daily Star that you have published the address of Prof. Rehman Sobhan delivered on the Independence Day after receiving the Award. It has helped us to understand the philosophy of an outstanding son of the soil. We congratulate the government for recognising the contributions of Professor Rehman Sobhan for the independence and socio-economic development of the nation. In his deliberations, Professor Rehman Sobhan correctly reiterated the spirit of our independence saying, “Let us not forget that Bangladesh originated in our struggle to build a democratic, just and equitable society where people of all faiths and beliefs could live in harmony with one another.” We are really grateful to Professor Rehman Sobhan for reminding us of the real spirit of our independence. He truly deserved the Award.
