The National Citizen Party (NCP) has commemorated the sacrifice of Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) soldiers on the occasion of Borai Bari Day, observed in Borai Bari village of Roumari upazila, Kurigram. According to an NCP press release issued on Saturday, the party paid tribute to the martyrs and prayed for their souls, marking the anniversary of the 2001 incident when India’s Border Security Force (BSF) allegedly crossed the border without provocation and attacked the area.

The statement recalled that the then Bangladesh Rifles and local villagers resisted the incursion and thwarted the attempt to occupy the BDR camp and Borai Bari village. The BSF reportedly fired repeatedly toward Bangladeshi installations, and the Borai Bari camp still stands as a witness to that event. The NCP honored the bravery of the BDR personnel who defended the border and remembered the soldiers who were killed in action—Nayek Subedar Wahiduzzaman, Sipahi Mahfuzur Rahman, and Sipahi Abdul Kader.

The party reiterated its respect for the courage of the fallen soldiers and emphasized their enduring contribution to the defense of the nation.
