BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman has come forward to support Mubin, a teenage computer operator who lost his eyesight after being shot during the anti-autocracy protest on July 18 last year. Mubin, the only earning member of his family, is at risk of permanent blindness due to lack of funds. On Tarique Rahman's directive, BNP's health secretary visited Mubin's home in Shariatpur, delivered financial aid, and assured further treatment. BNP criticized the government's negligence towards injured protesters and called for democratic fairness in elections.
