At an event on Monday, BNP Secretary General presented honors, gifts, and financial assistance to the families of 78 youth league members martyred in the July uprising. Six youth league leaders were also posthumously awarded. The youth league recognized Khaleda Zia, Tarique Rahman, and the BNP secretary general for their contributions to anti-fascist movements over the past 17 years. Tarique Rahman addressed the gathering, emphasizing that Bangladeshis now demand fulfillment of political promises and improved living standards. He acknowledged the sacrifices of the martyrs and the 17 years of struggle for political rights amid oppression, torture, enforced disappearances, and killings. Highlighting that over one-third of the population is youth, Tarique outlined BNP’s initiative to develop skill-based education and pledged to ensure healthcare access. He stressed multilingual education and empowerment.
