Dhaka University Central Students' Union (DUCSU) organized a reform talk titled 'July Charter and Reform: Aspirations of Martyrs' Families'. The first part of this reform talk was held at the Dhaka University Central Students' Union (DUCSU) premises on Tuesday at 3 pm. Members of the families of martyrs in July-August were present in it. DUCSU VP Sadiq Kayem presided over the program.
In his welcome speech, DUCSU Health and Environment Secretary MM Al Minhaj said, "Despite the support of about 70 percent of the people in the referendum for the July Charter, if the government delays implementing it and wants to return to the old authoritarian system under the pretext of the constitution, it will not be tolerated in any way.
In July, the mother of martyred Jisan said, "My only son was martyred while standing next to the students in the July 20th movement, and his wife also died unable to bear the grief of her husband.
In July, Shaheed Hasan's father Monir Hossain said, "My son Hasan was shot dead by police in front of Jatrabari Police Station on August 5, 2024, and his body was identified through DNA testing six months and 13 days later.
In his speech, DUCSU VP Sadiq Kayem said, 'I greet everyone present at the "July Charter and Reforms: The Desire of the Martyrs' Family" program organized by Dhaka University Central Student Union DUCSU.
Today we remember those martyrs who sacrificed their lives and gave us the gift of new Bangladesh and independence. More than 2,000 have been martyred and more than 40,000 have been injured. Their dream was to build a new, just, fair and democratic Bangladesh. But we see that the post-revolutionary elected government is ignoring the aspirations of the martyrs and the demands for national reform.
