BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Advocate Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said, "The July Revolution is an awakening of the consciousness of the youth of this country, which has ushered in new politics. The true facts of history are not easily revealed today."A political environment has emerged across the subcontinent where telling the truth has become a crime.He made these remarks as the chief guest at the 'July Uprising Book Fair 2025' event at Bangla Academy on Friday (August 1) afternoon.Rizvi said, "There are many glorious events in our history that are not told in time. We are currently living in a time where it has become difficult to write and read true history. However, it is necessary to publish these events in the form of books, which can give the right direction to the coming generation."The BNP spokesperson said, "In the 16-year history of Bangladesh's democratic movement, we have been subjected to oppression, arrests, cases, and unspeakable torture in remand. Despite attempts to erase these histories, the truth could not be covered up. The July Revolution is proof of that."Rizvi further said, "The youth did not believe any false statement. They crossed family boundaries, educational institutions and fought on the streets in front of the bloodied eyes of the autocratic government. When one was shot, another came forward to give him water. Even then, the shooting did not stop."
