Debabrata Sarkar, in his speech said ” At one time, two Bengalis were one. Art, literature, sports and lifestyles set a shining example to the rest of the world. One of the unknown walls created distance between us. But in our hearts Bangladesh is still the same. Today, with the pull of that heart, the two Bengalis need to walk together again. Sobhan Bhai and East Bengal Club can work together to coordinate the two Bengals.”
