Housing and Public Works Adviser Adilur Rahman Khan said the interim government is committed to implementing state reforms to build a “New Bangladesh” in line with the July National Charter and the July Declaration.
“July changed Bangladesh in just 36 days, and we are determined to move forward with the necessary reforms,” he said at a seminar titled Gum Nikristo Fascibadi Shasoner Hatiyar at Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Hall Auditorium on Saturday morning.
The seminar was held marking the unveiling of Aynaghorer Sakkhi: Gum Jiboner Aat Bochor, a book written by Barrister Mir Ahmed Bin Quashem Arman depicting his eight years in detention, sourced from the organisers, reports BSS.
Adviser Adilur Rahman Khan said the era of fascist rule has ended through the sacrifice of hundreds of martyrs and the struggles of those still recovering from their wounds.
“Bangladesh now stands at a new juncture where those who were once victims of enforced disappearance can finally speak,” he said.
He said the country has come out of a dark chapter of extrajudicial killings and unlawful oppression, and efforts are now underway to establish rule of law and ensure justice for the victims.
He said the trial process against perpetrators has already begun and those who suffered injustice will witness the end of wrongdoing.
Stressing the spirit of the July Declaration, Housing and Public Works Adviser Adilur Rahman Khan said the fight is not over as fascism may try to return and unity is essential to safeguard the country’s democratic and reformist journey.
He urged all citizens and political forces to stay united and work together to advance reforms.
Dhaka University Central Students’ Union vice president Abu Shadik, Barrister Mir Ahmed Bin Quashem, Aynaghar victim Abdullah Aman Azmi and other DUCSU leaders spoke at the event.
