16 July 2025: Gopalganj — A Day Written in Blood
Some days leave scars that history cannot erase.
On 16 July 2025, Gopalganj witnessed a deadly confrontation during the National Citizen Committee’s “March to Gopalganj.” As protests escalated, security forces launched an operation that remains deeply contested. Official reports confirmed several deaths, while political groups and eyewitnesses alleged a much higher toll, widespread injuries, and a subsequent cover-up. These allegations remain disputed.
A curfew silenced the district, but it could not silence the questions.
What happened that day? Who was responsible? And will there ever be a transparent, independent accounting of the events?
The people of Gopalganj deserve truth, justice, and accountability. The memories of 16 July 2025 should not be forgotten.

Same Playbook. Different Era.
1971: East Pakistan (Bangladesh) demanded democratic dignity and an end to resource exploitation. Met with absolute military suppression.
2026: Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir citizens demand economic survival and rights over their own hydropower. Met with internet blackouts, mass arrests, and "terrorist" labels.
You cannot choke a population’s voice and expect silence forever. Bangladesh broke the chains of this playbook in 1971. The world must open its eyes to PoJK today.

📷 UNICEF warns that 1.2 million more people in Bangladesh are slipping below the poverty line as the cost-of-living crisis deepens.
For millions of families, buying rice now means giving up lentils, and cooking oil has become a luxury. Rising fuel prices, inflation, and economic hardship are pushing more households into poverty, with children among the hardest hit.
@UNICEF has called for greater investment in healthcare, education, social protection, and cash assistance to protect the most vulnerable.
As more families struggle to afford basic necessities, the question remains: How will Bangladesh respond to a crisis affecting millions?
