The programme began with a one-minute silence in memory of the martyrs of the July Movement. In his speech, the Divisional Commissioner said that July does not belong to any individual, political party, or group; rather, it is the achievement of the people of the entire country.

He stressed that eliminating discrimination requires the practice of justice, honesty, and integrity in personal life.

Addressing students, he said that while democratic movements are a legitimate right, they should always remain peaceful and rational. He urged them to respect the rights of others and prepare themselves to contribute to the country’s development through patriotism, morality, and a strong sense of responsibility.

He further said that public cooperation, constructive criticism, and positive suggestions are essential for implementing the government’s development initiatives.
