People must realise the essence of Bhupenda’s songs: Sarbananda Sonowal

GUWAHATI: “If we have to take forward Assam in 21st century and build a society based on moral values, then we must follow the ideals of Dr. Bhupen Hazarika. His songs spoke of humanity, brotherhood and peace. He considered the whole world his home. Empathy for fellow human beings was the strongest quality of his character and we all must imbibe those humanistic values.”

Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal said on Tuesday while taking part in the programme of 8th death anniversary of Dr Bhupen Hazarika organised by Cultural Directorate, Government of Assam at the premises of the late doyen’s Samadhi Kshetra at Jalukbari in the city, a press release stated.

Urging the people to follow the ideals propagated by Dr. Hazarika in songs like “We’re in the Same Boat Brother” and “Jilikabo Luitore Paar”, Sonowal said that people must realise the true essence of Dr Hazarika’s songs so that the Assam’s true potential could be harnessed to propel it on the path of rapid development. It is paramount to leave narrow mindedness to excel in today’s competitive world equipped with knowledge, he asserted.
