Uprising Leader Warns of Dire Consequences if Movement Fails

Staff Correspondent

Sargis Alam, general secretary of the July Shaheed Smriti Foundation and a member of the National Citizen Committee, has alleged that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her associates are trying in every way to ensure their failure. He warned that if they fail, none of those present will survive under Hasina’s rule.

He made these remarks on Saturday morning, November 30, at an event held at Tarek Smriti Auditorium in Mymensingh Town Hall. The program distributed Tk 5 lakh in financial aid to the families of 55 individuals killed during the July uprising.

Sargis claimed that conspiracies by “black vultures” persist. “If I remain alive with your prayers, no martyr’s family or injured person will face harm. None of them will have to live in distress. It may take some time, but we will stand by you with all our strength, even at the cost of our lives,” he added.

He urged everyone to protect the spirit and vision of the uprising. “While we will constructively criticize the government, we will also cooperate in administrative and other areas. Those involved in the ‘massacre’ must be brought to justice based on video and photographic evidence. This is directly tied to the existence of those currently serving in the administration, as their positions are a result of this uprising,” he said.

The event was moderated by Mir Mahbubur Rahman Snigdha, CEO of the July Shaheed Smriti Foundation.

He remarked, “No one can remain unaffected by the cries and sorrow of these families. Every citizen of this country is indebted to the families of the martyrs.”
