Then came his dream come true on 25 February 1948 On that day, Dhirendra Nath demanded that all the minutes of the Pak People's Assembly be recorded in Bengali along with English and Urdu He argued that since the Bengali population of East Pakistan was the largest in Pakistan, it was necessary to make Bengali one of the state languages of that country.

But the Pakistani Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan rejected his "communal rhetoric " Liaquat Ali Khan's point was clear: Pakistan was born on the demand of the subcontinent's billions of Urdu-speaking Muslims So it would be wrong to give preference to the language (Bengali) spoken by the majority of the people!
