At the beginning of the speech Dr. Yunus said, I pay deep respect to all the martyrs who were killed in the uprising of students-workers-people against fascism in the month of July-August. I also remember those who stood like the Himalayas in front of the deadly weapons of the fascist forces, embraced death, were wounded, crippled, lost their eyesight in protest against injustice. Remembering those heroes who stood up with a single demand against lies, looting, tyranny. Gratefully remembering your siblings, your children who participated in this revolution.

Now that foundation is made. This foundation is taking full responsibility of all martyr families and their families along with best treatment of injured.
