Jamaat-e-Islami will spare no effort in fulfilling the aspirations of the students who fought during the July uprising, said the party's Ameer Shafiqur Rahman.
"The parents of the martyrs hold their heads high, for not every parent is fortunate enough to raise a hero. We will remain forever indebted to their sacrifices," he said today (3 February) after visiting the grave of Ishtiak Ahmed Srabon, a student of Feni Government College who was killed during the July uprising in Mohipal.
At Srabon's grave, the Jamaat Ameer offered Fatiha, paying tribute to his memory. "It is because of courageous souls like Srabon that we have achieved the new Bangladesh," he said.
