State Minister for Primary and Mass Education Bobby Hajjaj on Monday stated that the July mass uprising is not the individual achievement of any person, political party, or group, but the outcome of collective desires and participation of people from various classes and professions.

He asserted that no party should be allowed to claim sole ownership of the uprising, emphasizing that everyone must play a responsible role in establishing a democratic, constitutional, and accountable state system by upholding its core spirit.

The State Minister made the remarks as the chief guest at a discussion titled "Voices of July: Youth, Conviction, Resistance," organized by the Canadian University of Bangladesh in the capital.

Bobby Hajjaj noted that viewing the July uprising merely as a specific movement obscures its true significance, as multiple movements with diverse demands eventually converged into a broader mass uprising.

He warned against repeating past mistakes where historical achievements like the Liberation War were turned into political monopolies, urging everyone to remain vigilant so that the spirit of the July uprising is not claimed as the exclusive property of any political group.

Highlighting the role of the youth, the State Minister stated that citizens' duties do not end with a change of government, but rather lie in holding elected officials accountable. He called on university students to question ministers, MPs, and public representatives to ensure they fulfill public expectations.

State Minister for Expatriates' Welfare and Overseas Employment Nurul Haq Nur attended the event as the main speaker, while Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Canadian University of Bangladesh Chowdhury Nafeez Sarafat was present as a special guest.
