Lyricist Sujan Hajong becomes Birishiri Cultural Academy’s director

Sujan Hajong said in his response, “Greater Mymensingh is inhabited by Hajong, Garo, Koch, Banay, Hadi, Dalu and Barman ethnic groups. They have their own colorful culture and traditions. I am proud to have the opportunity to work for the practice and development of the language, literature and culture of these backward communities. This is my root. I grew up here. I have seen the people's sense of life, way of life and life struggle very closely. So I am committed to working for the cultural development of these marginalized people from the place of social responsibility. The present government is constantly working for the socio-economic and cultural development of the indigenous people. I would like to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to Hon'ble Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for appointing me as the Director of Birishiri Cultural Academy. ”

“Rafiq Azad, a poet of love and rebellion, was once the director of the Birishiri Cultural Academy,’ Sujan Hajong added, “There are many memories of the beloved poet Rafiq Azad in this Birishiri. He has blended in with the simple ethnic lifestyle here. He has written countless poems about the indigenous people. He is not here today. I will look for the memories he left here in the crowd of thousands of work. This will be the respect of his younger poet towards an older poet.”
