The Palestinian people’s fight for their rights was one of the key inspirations behind the July Uprising, adviser Nahid Islam said on Sunday.
“Palestine holds a special place in the hearts of the people of Bangladesh. Our country has always supported Palestine in its struggle for independence, which is why we launched activities through the March for Palestine platform on November 29, 2023,” he said, reports UNB.
The adviser made the remarks when Palestinian Ambassador to Bangladesh, Yusuf S. Y. Ramadan, visited the office of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications on Sunday.
He said that Palestine is a point of national unity for Bangladesh.
At that time, adviser Nahid emphasized that the country has always supported the oppressed and persecuted people of Palestine.
He reiterated that Bangladesh consistently stands by Palestine’s rightful demands, adding that the people of Bangladesh remain firmly committed to Palestine’s independence and sovereignty.
Addressing the adviser, Yusuf S. Y. Ramadan said, “Your arrival comes at a time when the people of Bangladesh had almost given up hope. Everyone is looking toward you. The people of the country want to place their trust in you.”
He expressed gratitude to the people of Bangladesh, noting that despite the geographical distance, Bangladesh is more vocal about the rights of the Palestinian people than many other Muslim countries.
