They protested against the ongoing anti-sculpture movement, killing people in the name of religion and violence in a program titled ‘Protest Night Against Religious Traders and Fundamentalism’ organized in front of the university’s TSC on Saturday night .
Several TSC socio-cultural organizations participated in the program organized by Tanvir Hasan Saikat, a former Daksh member. Artists from the Dhaka University Band Society including Krishnapaksh, Durg, Arjan Band performed the music.
The artists Ragib Rahman and Kamrun Nahar Munni, reciters from the Dhaka University Cultural Society, recited poems that highlighted various aspects of contemporary religious violence and protested against sculptural art. Furthermore, Hafizur Rahman, General Secretary of Dhaka University Mime Action, addressed Bangabandhu’s speech on March 7 under the name ‘Inspirational Voice’.
Several religious organizations, led by Amir Junaid Babungari of Hifazat-e-Islam, Acting Secretary General of Bangladesh Khilafat Majlis Mamunul Haque and Naib Amir Syed of the Islamic Movement of Bangladesh, have recently started an anti-sculpture movement in the capital’s Dholairpar. The defendants expressed their hatred of religious intolerance by showing their cartoons on the show.
Speaking on the occasion, Tanvir Hasan Saikat said: “We believe that the most effective tool in this revolution against fundamentalism is cultural awakening. On the day when the uninterrupted flow of cultural practices reaches every village in Bangladesh, there will not be a single person to water the roots of fundamentalism. To spread this practice, we, the students of the University of Dhaka, have organized a cultural evening of protest at the TSC facilities ”.
“We are not against any religion,” Saikat said. All the religions of the world speak of peace. Religion is good, but extremism is not. Recently, religious extremist practices have started all over Bangladesh. Using religion as a tool, a class of religious entrepreneurs is behaving in a chaotic and provocative manner by misinterpreting religion.
“They are opposed to the media sculpture of art. Bangabandhu’s sculpture has been vandalized in Kushtia. People are being killed in different places in the name of religion. Dhaka University students cannot sit during this time. We want a non-communal Bangladesh with our millennial culture. ”
