Mohammad Selim Uddin, central executive council member of Jamaat-e-Islami and Ameer of Dhaka North, has called on the government and relevant authorities to take effective measures for the full implementation of the July Charter. Speaking on Monday at a meeting with families of martyrs and injured participants of the 24th uprising in Dhaka, he described the July fighters as the nation’s greatest sons and national heroes deserving proper state recognition.

During the event, Selim Uddin listened to the concerns of the families and assured them of efforts to address their problems. He criticized past governments for authoritarian practices and claimed that the July fighters had rescued the nation from prolonged misrule at the cost of around two thousand lives. He also said Jamaat-e-Islami had provided financial and medical support to affected families and published books highlighting the sacrifices of the July fighters.

Selim Uddin reaffirmed that Jamaat’s initiatives to honor and assist the July fighters and their families would continue in the future.
