Prime Minister Tarique Rahman on Saturday vowed to ensure justice for the victims of the July mass uprising, but stressed that due process must be strictly followed to ensure that no one faces injustice in the name of justice. Speaking at the 'July National Conference-2026, he also called for national unity over revenge, saying the sacrifices made during the July mass uprising and the long anti-autocracy movement should inspire Bangladesh to build a democratic, just and inclusive future rather than deepen divisions. "The state will do its utmost to recognise your sacrifices. At the same time, those responsible for the injustice committed against you and killing your loved ones will face trial under the law," Prime Minister told the families of the July martyrs and those injured during the July mass uprising. He noted that legal proceedings have already been completed in some cases at the lower courts. "But there is one thing I want to say to all of you, and through you to the entire nation—not only to members of my own party, but also to other political parties and to those with no political affiliation who stood with the movement. Just as the autocratic regime committed injustice against crores of people in Bangladesh, we must ensure that no one suffers injustice in the name of justice," Tarique said. The July 24 Martyred Families Society and the central executive committee of Amra July Joddha jointly arranged the conference at the Bangladesh-China Friendship Conference Centre in Agargaon, marking the second anniversary of the July mass uprising and remembering the sacrifices of those who were killed and injured during the movement.
