It could be mentioned here that in 1948, after the partition of India a step was taken by the parliament to amend the Sub-section of 29 of the Indian constitution. In that amendment proposal it was mentioned that Urdu will be national language of Pakistan along with English. When Urdu was proposed as the national language with English by the Government of Pakistan, the Member of Parliament, Mr. Dhirendranath Dutta who was elected from Comilla (presently a district of Bangladesh) brought a historical proposal against it. He proposed that Bengali be the national language of Pakistan because it was the mother tongue of 44 million people of the East Bengal. After the session of the parliament he was coming back to Dacca, when he reached the Tejgaon Airport, he found no security at the Airport. 20-25 young people were standing at the Airport under leadership of R.S.P Student leaders Mr. Jamal Uddin and Mr. Mozammel Haque ( who died in an air-crash at Cairo Airport in 1965).Everybody was wearing wrappers. It was assumed that the young people have come to the Airport to protest against the proposal of Bengali as the national language of Pakistan. It was also assumed that the young guys may have carried arms under their wrappers. When Mr. Dutta came closer to the young guys, they took out lots of roses and honored him. After three months of the partition of India in 1947 the demand of Bengali as the national language of Pakistan was started. Bengali was the language of our mothers, our Community, our daily lives and our education. In order to establish Bengali as the national language of Pakistan, the R.S.P student leader Mr. Jamal Uddin collected signatures of the mass people of the country and submitted a memorandum to the Chief Minister Khawza Nazaimudin on the 17 November 1947. In a conference held in Karachi, the proposal of Urdu as the national language was passed. To protest against the proposal a meeting was held on 06 December, 1947 under the leadership of Mr. Farid Ahamed, the V.P of the Dacca University. Mr. Jamal Uddin was arrested along with other students on 11 March 1948 when he was holding a meeting with the other student – leaders.
