Rahnuma Ahmed said that the country is going through a crucial phase while people have overthrown fascism, but religious extremism is on the rise in society, and on the other hand, Islamophobia is increasing worldwide.
Amal Akash said that Samageet had been working for 23 years and Dharma Jar Jar is the band鈥檚 first music video production.
鈥楢lthough we faced many limitations and difficulties, we released this video for the audience. I hope people from all walks of life in Bangladesh believe that the country belongs to all,鈥� said Amal Akash, adding that Samageet members and their friends performed in the production.
