Yunus to visit Abu Sayeed's family in Rangpur

 
Interim Government Chief Adviser Prof Dr Muhammad Yunus will go to Rangpur on Saturday to meet the family members of Abu Sayeed, who was killed in police firing during the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement.

Chief Adviser's Press Wing confirmed it on Friday. Abu Sayeed, a student of Begum Rokeya University in Rangpur, was shot dead on July 16. His death sparked agitation among the student protesters which led to the fall of Awami League government on August 5.
In his first speech after arrival in Dhaka on Thursday, Nobel Laureate Prof Muhammad Yunus recalled Begum Rokeya University student Abu Sayed and said he will remain in the hearts of all in Bangladesh forever.  "...Abu Sayed's image is in the heart of every person in Bangladesh. No one will be able to forget it. The incredible courageous youth was standing in front of the guns," he told in emotion-choked voice while speaking to the media at the airport.
