BNP senior joint secretary general Advocate Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said the July Revolution is the awakening of the consciousness of the youth of the country, which has ushered in a new politics.
“The true facts of history are no longer easily published today. Such a political environment has been created across the subcontinent where telling the truth has become a crime,” he said.
He said this while speaking as the chief guest at the ‘July Mass Uprising Book Fair 2025’ program at Bangla Academy on Friday afternoon.
Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said, “There are many glorious and exemplary events in our history, which are not published on time. Our subcontinent is currently going through a period of politics where speaking the truth, publishing and reading the true facts of history in books have become a difficult matter. We are going through a tragic time, which has started across the entire subcontinent. If there is such an initiative among them that books are written and published based on the truth about the times and days that happened, I think they will be considered as successful people in our country, in our society.”
He further said, “The youth did not believe in any false statements. They crossed the family boundaries, educational institutions and let themselves take the streets in front of the bloodshot eyes of the autocratic government, when one was shot, another came forward to give him water. Even then, the shooting did not stop.”
Reminding the history of this country, Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said, “Bangladesh is the country where there is a history of various revolutions including the Palashi Rebellion of 1757, the Sepoy Rebellion of 1857, the Fakir-Sannyasi Rebellion, Titumir Rebellion, the Santal Rebellion, the Language Movement, and the Liberation War. This nation cannot be suppressed forever by false statements.”
BNP leaders Sanjay Dey Ripon, Moniruzzaman Monir and Zikarul Hasan, among others, also spoke at the event.
