The Students Movement Against Discrimination, a platform for quota reform movement, on Wednesday said that the students-led mass uprising was aimed at eliminating fascist system from the country and to reform the state but not to fulfill the will of any political party or group to go to power.

‘The interim government formed after the mass uprising will implement the will and wishes of students and people. We did not fight to fulfill the will of any  political party or groups to go to power,’ said Asif Mahmud, one of the coordinators of the platform in a statement.


He said that students and people would remain alert till the formation of interim government and repairing the state as per the demands.

Asif said that the platform was united and working with people to prevent any kind of communal instigation and chaos.

‘We had fought in a war to establish peace, and now we are taking responsibility to compensate damage triggered by the war,’ he said, saluting all students and people for taking charge through voluntary activities.

Amid mass uprising triggered by the student protests, the country’s longest serving prime minister Sheikh Hasina was forced to resign and flee to India on Monday.

About a month-long protest left 373 people, including students, dead in Dhaka as elsewhere across the country.
