DHAKA, July 1, 2025 (BSS) - A special prayer, religious programme and discussion were held in the memory of July Uprising martyrs at Dharmarajik Bouddha Bihar in city's Bashaboo area today.
Various programmes including Sanghadan, Ashtaparishkar Dan and offering food were held for eternal peace of the departed souls of the July Uprising martyrs and well-being of all living beings in the world.
CHT Affairs Adviser Supradip Chakma addressed the religious function as the chief guest.
In his speech, the adviser said the July Uprising is a milestone in the struggle of the people of the country for self-identity, justice and the establishment of democracy. The sacrifice of the martyrs will forever inspire the nation, he added.

The uprising has brought new momentum to the movement for secularism and building a pluralistic society, especially bringing to the fore the participation of the marginalized communities of the country, including the Chittagong Hill Tracts, he added.
