The historic 7th March speech of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is being removed from the 9th-grade Bengali literature textbook Sanghita Kanan. The decision was made during a comprehensive meeting held at the Ministry of Education on October 16. According to Professor Dr. Mohammad Nurul of Chittagong University, the reorganization of texts within the curriculum is a routine process aimed at updating the books for different classes as part of policy reforms.

The controversy arose when the exclusion of the speech was noticed for the 2025 academic year. Critics argue that removing such an iconic piece undermines national history and values. Educational experts and social media users have expressed disappointment, emphasizing that the 7th March speech holds immense historical significance. The Ministry of Education has stated that the speech will remain in other textbooks and subjects to preserve its importance in national education.
