abroad for better treatment.
Besides,
those who have lost their eyesight will be treated by bringing specialist
doctors from abroad so that they can regain their eyesight as soon as possible,
he added.
The

Nafiz."

martyrs who sacrificed their lives in July are the architects of July Uprising,
he said.

adviser said students from schools, colleges, universities and madrasahs along
with the general public participated in the movement.
He
said this upsurge is not because of any particular party or group rather it
belongs to all the people of the country.
Noting
that martyrs do not belong to any group, he said all should take forward the
country by recalling their memories.
