Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu said on Monday that everybody from poet to political activist- all have to raise their voice against military rule and communalism, reports BSS.

The minister was speaking as the chief guest at a function at the National Museum in the city marking the 89th birthday of Poet Shamsur Rahman.

Describing Rahman as 'the greatest urban poet', Inu said, "His works reflected the aspirations of our times."

He also said the poetry of Rahman was vocal against military rule and communalism.

"The poet desired a society free of military rule and parochial feelings," he said. The minister also applauded the poet's fight against military rule.

"He did not compromise, personally, with the evil forces and sacrificed the comfort of a secure life to defend his ideals," he said.
