HC: Why should the Bangla calendar not be used to celebrate national, international programs?

The High court has issued a rule asking government officials concerned about their inaction to observe International Mother Language Day on Falgun 8 instead of February 21.

The court also asked why the government, non-government and autonomous body's celebration of national and international programs, in accordance to the Gregorian calendar instead of the Bangla calendar should not be declared illegal.

The bench of Justice M Enayetur Rahim and Justice Md Mustafizur Rahman issued the rule on Sunday after hearing a writ. 

Advocate Md Moniruzzaman Lincon stood for the writ.

The Cabinet Secretary also asked to answer the rule within ten days. 

On February 12, Naskar Ali from Chuadanga district filed the writ with the High Court seeking necessary order in this regard.
