BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman visited the grave of Begum Rokeya University student Abu Sayeed, who was killed in the July movement in Zafarpara, Pirganj, Rangpur.

On Friday (January 30) evening, he reached Babanpur village of the upazila and visited the grave and met the family members of the martyr and inquired about him. At that time, he paid tribute to martyr Abu Sayeed and expressed condolences to the family.
