Students at madrasas across the country should sing the national anthem as the song is the main spirit of the Liberation War through which Bangladesh emerged as an independent country in the globe in 1971, said speakers while addressing a function at a madrasa in capital's Kadamtoli area on Wednesday (January 24, 2024).

RAB-10 Commanding Officer, Additional Deputy Inspector General of Police Mohammad Farid Uddin said, "Children in the country including madrasa students must grow with patriotism as it is a part of faith. They should love country's culture, sing national anthem and respect our flag. Spirit of the 1971 Liberation War should be a driving force in their journey towards success."

He laid emphasis on giving priority to science, arts and other subjects along with religious studies in madrasas.
