In commemoration of the student-led mass uprising in July-August, Jatiya Nagorik Committee today (9 November) held a cultural programme titled 'July Jagoroni' at the Central Shaheed Minar in Dhaka.
The event, anchored by Manzoor Al Mateen and Tajnuva Jabeen, featured documentary screenings, dance and musical performances, poetry recitations, Fakir songs, and rap songs on the July uprising.
