Allegations of Negligence: Sarjis Steps Down from July Shaheed Memorial Foundation

Staff Correspondent

Amid allegations of negligence, Sarjis Alam, General Secretary of the July Shaheed Memorial Foundation and Chief Organizer of the National Citizens’ Committee, has announced his resignation from the foundation. Reports suggest that this decision comes in response to accusations of mismanagement and a lack of transparency in organizational activities.

On Wednesday morning (January 22), Sarjis announced his decision through a post on his verified Facebook account.

Explaining his resignation, Sarjis stated that the foundation’s structure and operational framework have been revised to accelerate its progress. As part of these changes, the position of “General Secretary” has been dissolved.

Prior to Sarjis’s announcement, members of the foundation’s internal committee had accused him of lacking transparency in operational decisions and financial management. Some members claimed that under his leadership, several key projects were not completed on time, obstructing the foundation’s objectives.

Additionally, families of martyrs and injured freedom fighters raised complaints against Sarjis Alam.

Khomeni Ehsan, Convener of the National Revolutionary Council, alleged that Sarjis Alam’s resignation was compelled by the aftermath of an attack on their council. He added, “We believe Mir Snigdha must also resign. The attackers must be held accountable. Do not view politics as mere reactionary theatrics. There’s more to come, Inshallah. Sarjis will not be allowed to pursue politics.”

Meanwhile, Sarjis Alam wrote, “As long as I could dedicate my full time to the foundation, I fulfilled my responsibilities. When I realized I could no longer give the required time, I stepped down. To me, acknowledging personal limitations and acting accordingly is not a weakness but a sign of integrity and courage.”
