Since you have been patient for 15 and a half years, please be patient for some more time. Give the interim government a chance to sort things out. How will it work if you keep them busy like this?
Amir Shafiqur Rahman of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami said this while calling on all concerned. He said that the interim government has taken responsibility on the request of the students. Give them a chance to work.
Amir of Jamaat said this to reporters while returning from seeing Hasnat Abdullah, one of the coordinators of the anti-discrimination student movement, who is undergoing treatment at Dhaka Medical College Hospital on Monday afternoon.
Hasnat Abdullah was seriously injured during the clash of students with Ansar members in the secretariat area on Sunday night.
Amir Shafiqur Rahman of Jamaat-e-Islami said that there has been a change in the country on August 5. Hasnat Abdullah, one of the coordinators of the student movement, played an important role in the front line of the student movement. Yesterday, some unruly Ansar members stormed into the administration’s central secretariat in the name of agitation. The students who had forced the fascist government to flee with their lives, blood and bullets, came to listen, to calm them down. But they go beyond everything and hurt the students. Forced, the students resisted. During this time many people including Hasnat Abdullah were injured.
Amir of Jamaat also said that they have just accepted the responsibility. Where have you been for so long? Why did not claim so long? Since you have been patient for 15 and a half years, please be patient for some more time. Give them a chance to recover. How will it work if you keep them busy like this?’ He warned that people will not accept such activities. People will not forgive such misadventure again.
Jamaat-e-Islami central working council members Helal Uddin and Shafiqul Islam Masud, Dhaka Metropolitan South Assistant Secretary Delwar Hossain, Kamal Hossain and others were also present.
