National Parliament Whip ABM Ashraf Uddin Nizan has called for vigilance to ensure that the spirit of the July Movement is not undermined by any bureaucrat, lawmaker, or minister. Speaking on Monday during the general discussion on the proposed 2026–27 national budget, the Lakshmipur-4 MP emphasized that honoring July fighters should go beyond allowances or declarations and be reflected in administrative decisions as well.

Nizan shared personal experiences from visiting July fighters receiving treatment in Bangkok before Eid-ul-Azha, recounting the story of a wounded fighter and his wife who married after the July events. He criticized bureaucratic insensitivity in handling the fighter’s employment and urged that the ideals of the movement be preserved across all levels of governance.

He also praised the constructive tone of the current budget discussions between the ruling and opposition parties, citing patience and restraint as key democratic values. Nizan further called for initiatives to support activists affected during the 17-year movement and warned government members against actions that could humiliate the BNP or its leadership.
