Masud Parvez Ove, the event host, told UNB, "For us, February is a glorious month. Thanks to the 1952 Language Movement, we earned our right to speak our mother tongue. However, there is a room for discussion on whether the passion of us, the Bengali people, towards our beloved language has been modified or shifted, and has there been a possible identity crisis formed -- and our resourceful, esteemed panellists will participate in the debate and discussion to address these issues."
