Marking the first death anniversary of martyr Afiqul Islam Sad, Manikganj BNP convener Afroza Khanom Rita said no words could console parents who lost a child. “We came not to console, but to honor his parents,” she said while visiting his grave. She accused the Awami League government of firing indiscriminately at students and protesters during the July movement, adding that BNP must take responsibility for supporting the families of martyrs. She also pledged to push for restoring Manikganj’s parliamentary seats from three to four.
