DHAKA, July 30, 2026 (BSS) - Leader of the Opposition in Parliament Dr Shafiqur Rahman today said the spirit of the July movement was to build a discrimination-free and justice-based Bangladesh.

He made the remarks as the chief guest at a discussion with the families of those killed and those injured during the July Mass Uprising. 

Dhaka North and Dhaka South units of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami jointly organized the discussion at the Institution of Diploma Engineers, Bangladesh (IDEB) in the capital.

Shafiqur, also Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer, said his party has fully supported that vision and has maintained an uncompromising stance from the outset of the July movement until now. 

The party's Secretary General Mia Golam Parwar said the sacrifices of the martyrs would never be in vain. 

He said even children sacrificed their lives against an oppressive and fascist government and the blood of the martyrs would not be wasted. 

He added that Jamaat-e-Islami would continue its uncompromising efforts to fulfill their aspirations.

Md Nurul Islam Bulbul, MP, a member of Jamaat-e-Islami's Central Executive Council and Ameer of its Dhaka South unit, chaired the event.
