The nation today observes the 33rd death anniversary of National Poet Kazi Nazrul Islam across the country with due respect.
Nazrul, popularly known as Bidrohi Kabi (rebel poet), through his powerful poems had inspired the people to fight against all kinds of bondage and injustice and repression during the colonial rule.
Nazrul's songs and poems were also a great source of inspiration for the freedom fighters during the country's liberation war in 1971.
The poet passed away on August 29 (12th Bhadro of Bangla calendar) at the age of 77 after suffering long from a debilitating disease.
Different government and non-government cultural organisations have chalked out special programmes to mark the occasion.
Dhaka University authorities will observe a daylong programme in remembrance of the great poet.
Students, teachers and employees, led by Vice Chancellor Professor AAMS Arefin Siddique, visited the mazar of the poet beside the central mosque and placed wreaths and offered fateha in the morning.
On the occasion, Bangla Academy will organise a discussion session at its seminar room at 11:00am.
