BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir strongly condemned and protested the attack on students. He said that members of the ruling party student organization Chhatra League and members of law and order forces brutally injured the agitating students by carrying out an armed attack on the peaceful program of the students for the logical demand of reforming the discriminatory quota system. It is ‘cowardly’ and ‘disingenuous’ to injure numerous students by injuring numerous students by law and order forces and Chhatra League terrorists. Of course, the terrorists involved in such diabolical activities must be punished. BNP Secretary General said these things in a statement sent to the media on Monday night.
In the statement, he wished speedy recovery to the injured students and expressed deep condolences.
He said, this violent attack is due to the fear of losing power. The scene witnessed by the countrymen of suppressing the legitimate demands of the students in a bloody manner to stay in power will go down in history as another violent chapter of Awami fascism. People, state, society, freedom, sovereignty are never safe in their hands. The Awami ruling group is now losing its spirit due to the heroism of the bloodshed of students by the police and terrorists. They want to silence the countrymen by adopting terrible methods of repression. The Awami government has taken the approach of suppressing the ongoing movement of ordinary students in the same way as it is running a steamroller on the movement of pro-democracy political parties.
Mirza Fakhrul said, today the police and Chhatra League terrorists jointly attacked various universities and educational institutions of the country including Dhaka University and injured many students. The government has failed in the violent movement of university-school-college students across the country including the capital for the fair demand of quota reform, that is why state power is being used mercilessly to quell the movement. This is the traditional feature of Awami fascism. Dummy Awami government is continuously deceiving ordinary students about quota, because it is Awami League’s tradition to defraud people. After canceling the quota in 2018, the prime minister of the illegal government reinstated the quota in a different manner this year.
He also said that those who instigate Chhatra League goons along with the law and order forces to brutally attack the students are anti-human and inhumane. Those who resort to corruption and violence are also alarmed by the rational movement of ordinary students of colleges and universities. Because it is never possible to ensure the rights of any section of the people of various classes and professions by the government driven by the spirit of looting. So they resort to extreme violence to silence the voice of the collective voice.
