A group of students from Dhaka University has presented a memorandum urging the university to award an honorary doctorate degree to Islamic preacher Zakir Naik during a special convocation. The demand was made by Riyadul Islam, a student from the Department of Arabic, in front of the administrative building, with media notified around 3:00 pm. The students emphasized that bestowing the honorary degree upon Zakir Naik would signify a significant step in honoring Islamic knowledge, rationality, and humanity, as well as elevating the global standing and prestige of Dhaka University. They expressed their belief that the proposal, if considered favorably, will greatly enhance the reputation and dignity of both Bangladesh and the university on an international scale.
