Advocate Shamsur Rahman Shimul Biswas, Member of Parliament for Pabna-5, has called for establishing a just, accountable, and democratic state in Bangladesh following the recent July uprising. In an article published on July 10, 2026, he described the movement as part of the nation’s long struggle for rights, justice, and dignity, linking it to earlier milestones such as the Language Movement, the 1969 mass uprising, the 1971 Liberation War, and the 1990 democratic movement. He emphasized that the July uprising was not merely about a change of government but a demand for a transformation in the philosophy of governance.

Biswas highlighted that the movement’s participants, mostly young people, sacrificed their safety for the nation’s future and the dream of a fair state. He argued that true respect for their sacrifice lies in ensuring justice, transparency, and good governance. The article underscored that corruption, nepotism, and abuse of power undermine public trust and that equality of opportunity, merit-based employment, and freedom of expression are essential for a just society.

He concluded that July marks not an end but a new beginning toward building a just, democratic, and humane Bangladesh, urging all sectors—government, politics, judiciary, media, and civil society—to share this responsibility.
