Govt to honor martyrs of July uprising

The government will honor the martyrs of the students-people uprising on September 14.

Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology Adviser Md. Nahid Islam disclosed this at a preparatory meeting on Monday.

The government will give the highest honor to the martyrs’ families in the commemorative meeting, he said.

“Bangla Blockade”, “Complete Shutdown” and “Long March to Dhaka” must be highlighted in the commemoration as those words acted as a tonic in the mass movement, he said, adding that the commemorative meeting will be organized in such a way so that it can create the atmosphere of the July mass movement.

Md. Nahid Islam will work as focal point of the commemorative meeting.

Assistant Professor of Jagannath University Mohammad Zahidul Haque gave his opinion on the various designs of the programme.

Posts and Telecommunications Secretary Dr Md Mushfiqur Rahman along with senior officials of the ministry were present in the meeting.
