Bangladesh Abritti Samannay Parishad awarded 'Golam Mustafa Recitation Medal 2024' to Joydul Hossain and Rafiqul Islam, in recognition of their contribution to organisational recitation practice in the country.
On Tuesday evening, the organisation handed over the awards to the recipients at Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy's National Art Gallery auditorium, celebrating the eve of the International Mother Language Day and awarding the Golam Mustafa Recitation Award 2024 and the Brishti-Dola Memorial Award for the years 2022 and 2023.
Ahkam Ullah, General Secretary of Bangladesh Abritti Samannay Parishad, said in his welcome speech, "Through the Golam Mustafa Recitation Award, we honour such meritorious persons who have been working tirelessly for the development of organizational recitation practice for a long time; and the Brishti-Dola Memorial Award is mainly given to young promising people, who are the door of possibilities before us.
Bangladesh Abritti Samannay Parishad President and eminent cultural personality Asaduzzaman Noor introduced this year’s recipients of the awards and handed the awards to the recipients. "It is now important to work with our children at the grassroots level, to make them understand the value of our independence. We are constantly fighting the opposition forces of the Liberation War, while we move forward in building a non-communal Bangladesh,” he said at the event.
Ekushey Padak-winner recitation artist Bhashwar Banerjee handed over the cheques to the recipients, while Ghulam Quddus, President of Sammilita Sanskritik Jote, and Ekushey Padak-winning recitation artist Shimul Mustafa were present on the occasion.
