Press secretary to the chief adviser Shafiqul Alam said the atrocities committed by the occupation forces in 1971 have been repeated in 2024 by the Awami League (AL).
He on Saturday made the remark after paying tribute to the best sons of the nation at the Martyred Intellectuals Memorial in Mirpur.
He said: “The way the Pakistani forces captured and oppressed people in 1971 has been replicated in July of this year.”
The press secretary said: “The interim government upholds the dreams and ideas of the martyred intellectuals.”
The new Bangladesh envisioned by Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus is a continuation of the dreams cherished by the martyred intellectuals, he said, adding: “We are dreaming of a new Bangladesh, and Dr Yunus and his entire team embody the dreams and ideals of the martyred intellectuals.”
Earlier, at 7:00 am, President Md. Shahabuddin was the first to pay homage to the nation's brightest minds, followed by Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus at 7:15 am.
