Islamic University Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. Nakib Muhammad Nasrullah has said that the July-August Revolution will serve as a guiding force for Bangladesh’s democratic future.

The visuals of the mass uprising reflect the nation’s true identity and history, he said while speaking at the inauguration of a documentary exhibition on the "July-August Revolution" at the Faculty Building on Monday.

The event, held around 11am, marked the anniversary of the July mass uprising that led to sweeping political change.

"We may not remain forever, but these images will live on in our souls and in the archives of our hearts. Future generations of students will remember how the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement and the people united to overthrow fascism and dictatorship. This is our ideal, our inspiration," he said.

Dr. Nasrullah emphasised the collective commitment to building a democratic and inclusive Bangladesh. "We will never allow fascism to return. Together, we will build a beautiful Bangladesh," he added.

The exhibition was inaugurated in the presence of Pro-Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. M. Yeaqub Ali, Treasurer Professor Dr. Jahangir Alam, Dean of Arts Professor Dr. Emtiaz Hossain, July 36 Hall Provost Professor Dr. AKM Shamsul Haque Siddiqui, CSE Department Chair Professor Dr. Rabiul Haque, University Proctor Professor Dr. Shahinuzzaman, and several faculty members and student leaders, including former ASDM coordinator SM Sweet.

The documentary showcases key moments from the historic movement and will remain on display for students and faculty.
