Bangladesh Film Artistes’ Association President Chowdhury Mazhar Ali, known as Shiva Shanu, said he feels ashamed when artists mock July, emphasizing that true artistry requires emotion, conscience, and awareness. He made the remarks on Thursday at the National Film Archive in Agargaon, Dhaka, during a discussion organized by the July Martyrs’ Memorial Foundation to mark July Martyrs’ Day.
Shanu assured the families of July martyrs that many artists, including himself, remain committed to supporting the nation, its people, and the families of those who sacrificed their lives. He recalled his participation in anti-autocracy movements, saying that although many activists faced imprisonment or persecution, they stood firm for democracy and human rights. He urged everyone to uphold the spirit of the martyrs by working for a just and democratic Bangladesh.
Calling for a corruption-free and autocracy-free nation, Shanu said the change must begin within individuals. He pledged to dedicate the rest of his life to serving the July fighters and their families, expressing deep emotion over memories of the movement and its sacrifices.
