Callers to the Khoodeelaar! Campaign Hour have once again reiterated the demand for an extended slot on the London community radio station “Betar Bangla”.

The calls came on Thursday 21 February 2013 during the latest once-a week programme presented by Khoodeelaar! Campaigns Organiser Muhammad Haque.

This edition was almost wholly devoted to the works of the Rebel Poet Qazi Nazrul Islam, who wrote in the Bangla script but encompassed in his writings the widest known vocabulary drawn from a very large number of sources, ‘languages’ way beyond the geography of the Bangla language speaking peoples.

Muhammad Haque, an avid student of the Rebel Poetry of Qazi Nazrul Islam, read short lines from the Nazrul Poetry collection [=] “Shauncheeta”.

The edition of the KHOODEELAAR! Campaign Hour ended with Muhammad Haque reciting the lines: 

[here interpreted into English by Muhammad Haque]

“I shall rest only on that day when the cries and groans of the oppressed will not echo in the winds and the skies; 

when the sharp knives … of the oppressor will no longer reign in the battlefield…”
