The memorial discussion on the founder of Bangladesh Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was organised by Jatiya Party (JP-Manju) at the auditorium of Diploma Engineers' Institute in the city.

Speaking at the programme, Vice-chairman of Bangladesh Bar Council Barrister Rokanuddin Mahmud refuted the allegation that the Awami League is responsible for delaying the case.

He questioned the role of the Chief Justice regarding the case that has been left unheard in the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court for last five years.

He said the Attorney General's office that runs under the direct supervision of the Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs had not taken any step to put the case for hearing during the coalition rule.

Speaking about the stature of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in the history of Bangladesh, JP Chairman Anwar Hossain Manju said those who want to defame Bangabandhu should be aware of their own limitations.

"Now a section may feel shy in recognising his contribution to the creation of Bangladesh, but after hundred years things would be totally different," he added.

JP Secretary General Sheikh Shahidul Islam, Editor of The Bangladesh Observer Iqbal Sobhan Chowdhury, acting editor of the daily Ittefaq Rahat Khan, eminent actor Prof Mamtazuddin Ahmed and Prof Mostafa Chowdhury of Dhaka University also took part in the discussion.
