Barrister Asaduzzaman Fuad, central general secretary of the Amar Bangladesh (AB) Party, has called for financial assistance to organize iftar events at mosques, madrasas, and orphanages in Babuganj and Muladi upazilas of Barishal. He made the appeal on February 18 through a video message posted on his Facebook page, emphasizing the need for prayers and financial cooperation to ensure smooth iftar arrangements during the upcoming holy month of Ramadan.
Fuad stated that his constituency, Barishal-3, includes more than 600 mosques, madrasas, and orphanages where iftar is regularly arranged every Ramadan. He noted that providing for these institutions, many located in remote and river-surrounded areas, often becomes difficult. Therefore, he urged affluent individuals and expatriates to come forward with support.
In his message, Fuad also referenced the ongoing process of building a new Bangladesh following the 2024 mass uprising. He called for unity in creating a humane and just society inspired by the sacrifices of martyrs and encouraged participation in social and cultural initiatives promoting justice and freedom.
