Bangladesh Digital University, Bangladesh Honorable Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. Mohammad Abu Yusuf said, intellectuals were supposed to build Bangladesh after the victory in the war of independence, but we lost them on the eve of the final victory. If the intellectuals had not been killed, we could have reinvented ourselves. Intellectuals are the wealth of the state and the nation, they cannot become the wealth of any particular group.

In the speech of the special guest, the honorable treasurer of the university, Dr. Md. Anwar Hussain said, Pakistani ruling group considered our progressives, teachers, doctors and other intellectuals as a threat to them, so they killed our intellectuals on the verge of final victory.
