Tarique Rahman keeps Dr. Rafiq's promise

On August 2, at a felicitation ceremony organized by our July under the title "July Doctors' Stories" for the families of the two martyred doctors, martyr Dr. Sajeeb Sarkar's father Halim Sarkar and Dr. Sajeeb's ailing mother mentioned the need for an oxygen concentrator.The matter came to the attention of BNP Health Secretary Dr. Md. Rafiqul Islam, the chief guest of the event. At the same event, he promised to provide oxygen concentrators within 3 days, subject to discussions with BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman.Within two days, on Monday, BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman handed over an oxygen concentrator to Dr. Sajeeb's father at Bangladesh Medical University.It is worth noting that on March 29, on the instructions of BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman, BNP Health Affairs Secretary Dr. Md. Rafiqul Islam provided an oxygen concentrator for Sajeeb's mother.He was not receiving full treatment with one oxygen concentrator, so a second oxygen concentrator was handed over to him. In a brief speech while handing over the oxygen concentrator, BNP Health Affairs Secretary Dr. Rafiqul Islam said, "BNP knows how to keep its word.After listening to Sajeeb's mother, the acting chairman of BNP ordered to take urgent necessary measures. Thank you to the acting chairman of BNP for that.
He said, "We receive complaints that many families of martyrs in the July Movement are not being tracked down, and we always try to stand by them in this regard."At this time, he asked Dr. Sajeeb's parents, BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia and Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman to pray for him and the Zia family. Dr. Sajeeb's father thanked BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman and the BNP for standing by his family.
