Dhaka North city BNP Convener and State Minister for Youth and Sports Md Aminul Haque on Tuesday provided Eid assistance and gifts for the families of BNP leaders and activists who were victims of enforced disappearance, killing and martyrdom during political movements.
The assistance and gifts were distributed at his political office in the Eastern Housing area of Mirpur in the capital ahead of Eid-ul-Azha.
At the programme, Aminul Haque spoke personally with the family members and listened to their current condition, family crises and various problems.
He said the families of leaders and activists who made sacrifice for political movements will never be left alone and BNP will always stand by them.
“Those who sacrificed their lives or became victims of enforced disappearance and repression during the movements for democracy and voting rights have families toward whom we have a moral responsibility,” the state minister said.
“We organised this small initiative out of a sense of humanity so that the joy of Eid reaches their homes as well,” he added.
Family members of the victims also expressed their gratitude for the sympathy and support extended to them.
