To commemorate the memory of the ‘July Uprising 2024,’ the Bangladesh Postal Department has released a commemorative postage stamp worth 10 Taka, an inaugural envelope worth 10 Taka, a data card worth 5 Taka, and a special postmark.
On Sunday evening, at the state guesthouse Jamuna, Chief Advisor Professor Muhammad Yunus unveiled the postage stamp.
At the event, Postal and Telecommunications Advisor Md. Nahid Islam, Secretary of the Postal and Telecommunications Division Dr. Md. Mushfiqur Rahman, and Director General (Additional Charge) of the Postal Department S. M. Shahabuddin were present.
The spontaneous participation of students and the public in the July Uprising played a crucial role in freeing the nation from fascism. Alongside this, artwork, cartoons, graffiti, and protest songs during the movement provided courage and inspiration to the protesters. Within just three weeks, hundreds of political cartoons and artworks were created, serving as a unique medium of protest against fascism.
The theme of the postage stamp depicts the spontaneous participation of women in the July Uprising. The stamp highlights the significant role women played in accelerating the movement.
