Dhaka: Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Standing Committee Member Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan today called for building a new Bangladesh following the path shown by the student community. "Dictator Sheikh Hasina suppressed everyone for 15 years only through using the force of gun. The dictator was not only toppled by the mass uprising of students-people but also she fled like a coward. Now we will have to build new Bangladesh on the path shown by the students' community," he said. According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Moyeen Khan was addressing the opening ceremony of providing financial assistance and a rehabilitation programme for the injured of the July-August Revolution at the National Institute of Ophthalmology and Hospital in the capital. He called upon the democracy-loving people to remain alert, stating, "We have to remember one thing that the allies of Awami League cannot be able to capture this government and they cannot be able to raise their heads." Khan urged the freedom-loving students' communi ty to remain vigilant and prevent any attempt by Awami League allies to assert themselves. He emphasized that the fall of fascism in the mass uprising is the first step of the movement and that the next step is to establish people's rights by giving state power to elected representatives. During the event, Moyeen Khan visited victims of eye injuries from the July uprising at the hospital, inquired about their physical condition, and provided financial assistance. The event was chaired by Doctors Association of Bangladesh (DAB) President Professor Dr. Haroon Al Rashid, and attended by dignitaries including BNP Chairperson's advisor Professor Dr. Farhad Halim Donar, DAB Secretary General Professor Dr Abdus Salam, and National Institute of Ophthalmology Director Professor Dr. Khair Ahmed Chowdhury, among others.
