The advisors of the recently established provisional administration also laid wreaths in memory of the language movement martyrs.
After placing the wreath, Adviser Salehuddin Ahmed, also former governor of Bangladesh Bank said, “After ensuring the law and order situation is stable, we will be working to recover the financial damages with focus on developing people livelihood”. “The discriminatory government system has collapsed amid the students’ movement. As per the commitments with the students, we will reform the whole system with the sentiment of students”, said Adviser Nahid Islam from students’ representatives.
