Former interim government adviser Mostofa Sarwar Farooki, writing in the newspaper Amar Desh on July 6, 2026, called for state action to protect the memory of victims of the July uprising and their families. He argued that fascism cannot exist without ideological support from certain journalists, cultural figures, and intellectuals, whom he accused of dehumanizing dissenters under the guise of progressivism. Farooki expressed concern that such individuals continue to undermine the dignity of those killed or disappeared during the past sixteen years.
He urged the government to ensure justice not only for the martyrs but also to safeguard their memory from what he described as the “manufacturers of fascist consent.” Farooki proposed enacting laws or establishing a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to hold accountable those who disrespect victims’ memories. He also suggested temporary legal restrictions on content that insults or trivializes the suffering of victims’ families.
Farooki emphasized that the July uprising was one of the bloodiest in Bangladesh’s history and should be treated as a continuation of the nation’s struggle for sovereignty rather than a normal political event.
