Prime Minister Tarique Rahman addressed the inaugural ceremony of the Amar Ekushey Book Fair on the Bangla Academy premises this afternoon. "The Amar Ekushey Book Fair is one of the key creative initiatives of Bangla Academy inspired by the aspirations of the language martyrs. "However, in view of the time, I would like to request all of you to consider whether there is a scope to organize the Amar Ekushey Book Fair as the Amar Ekushe International Book Fair in the coming years," he said. While book fairs are organized in many countries around the world, Tarique Rahman noted that Bangladesh’s book fair is different. Therefore, he said, the Amar Ekushey Book Fair should not be regarded merely as a festival.
