“We can never forget the contributions of the students and people who sacrificed their lives or were grievously wounded while participating in the protests against the dictatorship,” said Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus.
“It is my duty and our national duty to stand by their side. We will do whatever is needed to take good care of the wounded and the families of the deceased as soon as possible,” he added.
