BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir today called for unity among all, warning that the sacrifices of those who died in the July uprising must not be diminished due to differences of opinion.“The victory of the mass uprising must be preserved. Differences of opinion may arise, but the selflessness of those who laid down their lives should not go in vain,” he said.Fakhrul made the remarks while speaking as chief guest at a book launch event featuring works by Professor Dr Mahbub Ullah and his wife Salma Alo at the National Press Club.He praised Mahbub Ullah’s lifelong commitment to the welfare of the people, saying, “In his writings, Mahbub Ullah consistently focused on the people, farmers, and labourers, advocating social change and the creation of a just and equitable state. Personal gains never guided his work.”

Fakhrul said that BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia often sought Mahbub Ullah’s advice during important political discussions. “Many core ideas for political, constitutional, and economic reforms under Vision 2030 stem from his insights,” he noted.

Highlighting Mahbub Ullah’s involvement in recent political movements, he said the professor played a key role in the 2022 simultaneous movement, the formation of political alliances, and electoral participation.

Fakhrul concluded by saying that Mahbub Ullah dedicated his life to building a democratic and discrimination-free Bangladesh, with his writings championing the rights of ordinary citizens, freedom, and social justice.
