Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. Nakeeb Mohammad Nasrullah said, we are now standing and talking in new Bangladesh. We got this Bangladesh in exchange for the blood of the martyrs of the anti-discrimination student movement. Innovations are made in the blood-earned revolution. Bangladesh will not go back. Bangladesh of equality, friendship and bond will be formed with the participation of all, keeping the philosophy of anti-discrimination student movement in front. Educational institutions will become corruption-free beautiful arenas.


He also said that my main work is to accelerate the reform of education and research work in the university. Although the Islamic University is a public university like other universities, its motto is to combine Islamic education with secular education. Excluding one of these two will not achieve the desired goal of creating a beautiful society. So I will try to bring back the lost tradition of this university. I will follow the model of education system that I have seen in various international educational institutions including Dhaka University in Islamic University.


Regarding the demands of the students, he said, I agree with the demands of the students. Your demand for reform has made my job easier. But my work will be in a gradual and deliberate process. Because no work done in haste is good. We want to act according to the law. Because if everyone follows the law then there will be no discrimination. Everyone will be treated equally. We want a participatory learning environment


Addressing the students, the VC said, "You are students. I want students to be class-oriented. They should spend most of their time on class-educational matters and research. If you don't connect your life with time, you will be left behind. I want a university where university students are students." I can be proud."


He also said, "Dictatorships in the past deprived you of your freedom of speech. You have regained that freedom through the anti-discrimination student movement. I believe you will continue to exercise that freedom. You will always be vocal against discrimination."
