This is to be noted that there is a strong similarity between the comments of Islam Darshan of 1329 and 1334, and of Moslem Darpan of 1332 along with the statement of "Mohammadi" of 1335. Now the critics of Nazrul were not allowed to go Scot free.as the young Muslim litterateurs began strongly supporting Nazrul in "Saugat". To speak frankly, "Saugat" was not in bad book of the directors of "Mohammadi" before it published articles supporting Nazrul . In fact Maulana Akram Khan accorded welcome after publication of yearly "Saugat" issue. This contradiction of Saugat with Mohammadi was revealed at the instance of the fame and reputation of Nazrul.
Those Muslim writers who were envious of Nazrul's name and fame began to assemble around "Muhammadi" for slandering against Nazrul. Nazrul wrote article in the first issue of Muhammad (kartik 1334) but he did not continue writing for long.
In the mean time Weekly Saugat began to publish and it was first published on , first Baishakh 1335 (April 1928) In this paper a page was allotted , titled "chanachur" where replies were printed against the Social, political, and Rligious hypocracy. Nazrul himaself was in charge of this column of belles-letters. there was another Column where news, articles relating to Nazrul was published titled " Nazrulistan"
the real picture of the effects of criticisms published in Muhammadi was expressed in a letter written by the poet Ismail Hosen Siraji, titled "Anal Prabaha". He wrote in the weekly "Saugat' in 30th Kartik, 1335;
In the writings of Ismail Hosen Siraji the language of the Muslim community from their core of hearts was reflected and ovations from all around in favour of Nazrul began to be started. A proposal was raised on behalf of Saugat to arrange a welcome address for Nazrul. hosen Siraji at this proposal wrote;
The young litterateurs of "Jagaran" paper Abul Fazal and Abdul Kadir, and the editor of "Abhijan" Abul Kasem tried, two years back, to arrange a welcome ceremony of Nazrul which could not be held due to the illness of Nazrul. Now they would be going to arrange the ceremony.
This situation of the opposition of "Muhammadi" and the different Welcome addresses of Nazrul were rightly expressed in a letter written by the boyhood friend of Nazrul Abdul Ohab;
