Career

Mowla was the commander of the Mukul Fauj in Calcutta while studying. In 1952 he was the Vice-President of the Student Parliament of Dhaka Medical College and the Vice-President of the East Pakistan Chhatra League.

Mowla played a strong role in the Bengali language movement of 1952. He was a member of the All-Party Rastrabhasa Sangram Parishad formed on 31 January of that year at the Dhaka Bar Library under the chairmanship of Maulana Abdul Hamid Khan Bhashani. At that time, he was the convener of the Rashtrabhasha Sangram Parishad of Dhaka Medical College.

From 20 February 1952, the government issued section 144 for one month and banned rallies and processions. Immediately after this announcement, the medical students, led by Golam Mawla, came together and immediately decided to break section 144 and continue the movement. After the shooting of the student procession on 21 February, most of the leaders of the movement met at the Engineering College, Dhaka at night to decide the strategy of the movement. When the Student Struggle Committee was newly formed at this meeting, Mowla was elected the convener of the committee.

The first Shaheed Minar was built on the night of 23 February under the overall supervision of Mowla at the site of the first shooting at the Medical College Hostel premises.
