Farhana Setu said, "I have overcome many challenges to create these works. I want to create awareness through them."
Asaduzzaman Noor said, "Aly Zaker was not only busy with business or cultural activities. He was involved in numerous endeavours. He died of cancer. He wanted to work with cancer patients. We are trying to make his wish a reality. We will continue to conduct such activities under the management of Asiatic."
