The University of Dhaka will confer Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman with Honorary Doctor of Laws in 2020.
“The decision was taken in an academic meeting as a part of the yearlong celebration of ‘Mujib Year’ in 2020,” Vice-Chancellor Md Akhtaruzzaman said during a media call on Saturday (Dec 7) on the 52nd Convocation slated for Monday (Dec 9).
Bangabandhu, who was a student of law department at the university, was expelled for organising a demonstration in 1949 on the rights of fourth grade staff.
Sixty-one years later, in 2010, the Dhaka University Syndicate rescinded the expulsion of Bangabandhu.
