The Jamaat leader said it is high time to send the principles of deen into parliament. Those who were once involved in student politics must now become active again and play their role for the country. The reunion brought together ICS activists since 1977.
Porwar recalled memories and contributions of late Shibir leaders, describing their sacrifices as "A shining chapter in political history."
Shibir central secretary general Nurul Islam Saddam presented the keynote paper.
The current President of ICS's Khulna Metropolitan, Arafat Hossain Milon, presided over the event. Jamaat leaders Maulana Abul Kalam Azad and Prof Mahfuzur Rahman also attended the reunion as special guests.
