A Universal Festival Begins: As the Bengali New Year 1431 arrives, the Opposition Leader in Bangladesh’s National Parliament and the Chairman of the Jatiyo Party, Mohammad Quader MP has extended his heartfelt greetings and congratulations to the citizens of Bangladesh. On this joyous occasion, he has also reached out with messages of love and goodwill to Bengali-speaking communities around the world.

The Essence of Pohela Boishakh: According to Mr. Quader, Pohela Boishakh symbolizes the shedding of the old, worn-out, and inauspicious to embrace new vigor and advancement. It’s a day that wipes away all failures of the past year, inspiring triumphs in the upcoming one. Pohela Boishakh stands as a monumental day of unity for all Bengalis, transcending religious, ethnic, and social boundaries to celebrate together in harmony and communal joy.

Historical Roots and Cultural Significance: Initiated during Emperor Akbar’s reign for tax collection purposes, the Bengali calendar has now evolved into a significant cultural festival that fosters and develops Bengali culture.

Tribute to a Visionary Leader: Mr. Quader recalled the late President and founder of the National Party, Hussain Muhammad Ershad, who transformed Pohela Boishakh into a vibrant national festival by declaring it a public holiday. This day energizes the Bengali spirit with colorful celebrations, marking a tribute to Palli Bandhu’s profound respect and memory.
