Dhaka, June 25 -- The 153rd birth anniversary of Nawab Sir Salimullah was celebrated today with grand arrangements at the historic Salimullah Muslim Hall of the University of Dhaka. Although Salimullah's birth date is June 7, due to the Eid-ul-Azha holidays, it was decided to observe the event on June 24.

It is known that during the previous Awami League government, Nawab Salimullah was never officially commemorated. Many say that both the past government and the university administration tried to obscure the contribution of this Muslim ruler to the founding of Dhaka University.
