Uprising made it clear that country was in misrule for 50 years: Adviser Sharmin
The July uprising has made it clear that the country has been led towards misrule in the past 50 years, Women and Children Affairs Adviser Sharmin S Murshid said today.
"Those who came to power in the country in this period, as well as those who were out of power, indulged in injustice, so the movement of 2024 had to take place," she said while speaking at the 18th National Youth Conference of Youth Ending Hunger Bangladesh held in Savar on the outskirts of Dhaka.
Sharmin also said, "The revolution of 2024 took place to resolve the issues that were unresolved since 1971. Through the Liberation War, we got the country and its flag, but we could not build the country."
