The Bangladeshi government has decided to confer the Bangla Academy Literary Award 2025 on poet Mohon Raihan after suspending it amid complaints about his writings. The award, initially announced for poetry, was withheld during the February 26 ceremony but will now be presented on March 2 following a review. Raihan plans to announce whether he accepts it at a press conference.
