The foundation stone of the Shaheed Wasim Akram Memorial was laid at the entrance of Sholashahar Railway Station in Chattogram. State Minister for Liberation War Affairs Ishraq Hossain inaugurated the construction at around 1:30 pm on Thursday, July 16. The memorial honors Shaheed Wasim Akram, the first Chhatra Dal leader who embraced martyrdom in Chattogram during the July Uprising.

Several dignitaries, including Abu Sufian, MP, Shaheed Wasim Akram's father Shamsul Alam, Chhatra Dal Central General Secretary Nasir Uddin Nasir, Chattogram Divisional Commissioner Dr. Muhammad Ziauddin, and Deputy Commissioner Md. Zahidul Islam Miah, addressed the event as special guests.

After laying the foundation stone, State Minister Ishraq Hossain remarked on the significance of the memorial, stating, 'Those who lost their lives, were injured, or suffered during the violent mass uprising of July 24 as part of the anti-fascist movement. The heinous massacre of innocent students aimed at ending a 17-year-long dictatorial regime has received international acknowledgment from the United Nations.'

He further announced plans to establish memorials in every district to honor Shaheed Wasim and all other martyrs, emphasizing the commitment to create a non-discriminatory and democratic Bangladesh. Shamsul Alam, the father of Shaheed Wasim Akram, urged attendees to refrain from creating divisions and to unite for the country's progress.

The event was attended by senior administrative officials, local political leaders, and a significant number of students. The establishment of the memorial underscores the ongoing efforts to honor the sacrifices made during the struggle against authoritarianism and to foster a united and democratic nation.
