Prime Minister Tarique Rahman and his spouse Dr Zubaida Rahman today spent quality time with students at the Kazi Fazlul Huq Women's Hostel of Dhaka Medical College (DMC). The visit followed the inauguration of the DMC Day-2026 programme, where the Prime Minister released balloons and pigeons on the campus.
A Nostalgic Visit
Dr Zubaida Rahman, who lived at the hostel during her time as a student at DMC, was particularly moved by the visit. The students gathered eagerly at the hostel's main entrance, thrilled to meet the Prime Minister and his spouse.
Recalling old memories, Prime Minister Tarique Rahman shared, "When I used to bring Zubaida Rahman to the medical college, I would seat her beside me in the front seat of the car. Today, while coming here, I again asked her to sit in the front seat beside me, and I brought her to meet you."
Words of Encouragement
Addressing the students, Prime Minister Tarique Rahman expressed his hopes for their future, saying, "I pray that all of you become established in your respective fields."
Dr Zubaida Rahman, becoming emotional while reminiscing about her student days, urged the current students to look forward despite the challenges ahead. She said, "We must always look forward. Many challenges and hardships would come in life. We should not hold on to anger or resentment. We must move towards a bright future."
A Vision for the Future
Dr Zubaida Rahman also spoke about her vision for DMC, stating, "We have to take this medical college to such a level that people around the world recognise the quality of its healthcare services. One day, we should all be proud of this medical college."
The visit concluded with students taking selfies with the Prime Minister and Dr Zubaida Rahman, creating lasting memories of the inspiring encounter.
