The deputy press secretary said the prime minister handed the appointment letters to members of the July martyr and injured families, spoke with them and inquired about their families.
Recalling people’s sacrifices at various times from the 1971 Liberation War to the July 2024 movement, Prime Minister Tareque Rahman said: “The main aim and purpose of all these sacrifices was to build a better Bangladesh, where the country’s people can live better lives.”
The prime minister said: “Behind the sacrifices of all those we have lost, those who were physically injured or otherwise harmed, there was one aspiration — to make Bangladesh better.”
Noting the various limitations of the state and government, the prime minister said: “Even within limitations, the country must be moved forward in line with reality. What we got is not the biggest thing; rather, what we could give the country is what matters. If we can move forward gradually with this goal in mind, it will be possible to build the Bangladesh we want in the days ahead.”
The prime minister said efforts would continue to properly value the sacrifices of those martyred and injured in the July movement.
Also present were Fatema Tuz Zohra, mother of martyr Abdullah Bin Zahid who recently joined a job, and injured July fighter Soheli Tamanna, who also met the prime minister.
Members of martyr families and injured July fighters expressed gratitude to the prime minister on receiving their appointment letters, the deputy press secretary said.
Also present were the prime minister’s additional press secretary Atikur Rahman Rumon and Amra BNP Paribar member-secretary, agriculturist Mokshedul Momin Mithun.
