Rangpur: The Shaheed Abu Sayeed Corner will glorify the July Revolution and create an opportunity to present the heroic history of the revolution to the new generations all the time. “Students who come to the library at Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur (BRUR) in the coming days will be able to know more about the contribution of Shaheed Abu Sayeed,” said BRUR Vice-chancellor Professor Dr. Md Showkat Ali. He made this statement while inaugurating the Shaheed Abu Sayeed Corner at the Central Library and Information Center of the university as the chief guest.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Shaheed Abu Sayeed was a brilliant student of the Department of English at the university. He was martyred in police firing on July 16 last year during the anti-discrimination student movement. The inauguration was attended by prominent figures including Dhaka University (DU) Treasurer Professor M Jahangir Alam Chowdhury, DU Business Studies Faculty Dean Professor Dr. Mahmud Osman Imam, and other distinguished faculty members and staff from BRUR.
Paying rich tribute to the memory of Shaheed Abu Sayeed, DU Treasurer Professor M Jahangir Alam Chowdhury remarked, “We got a new Bangladesh in exchange for the blood of martyr Abu Sayeed of the July Revolution.” He emphasized that building a discrimination-free Bangladesh would make the sacrifices of all martyrs, including Abu Sayeed, worthwhile. He urged everyone to work together to achieve positive changes in the country and society.
