Leaders and activists of Bangladesh Udichi Shilpigoshthi at a protest rally on Friday urged the interim government to take steps to stop countrywide attacks and killing. 

We have to be aware that the achievement has come through sacrifices of the students and common people, they said at the rally in front of the National Press Club in the capital.


Many Hindus houses, temples, and cultural activists and organisations were attacked after the resignation of Sheikh Hasina as prime minister on Monday, they mentioned.

Udichi general secretary Amit Ranjan Dey said that the Student Movement Against Discrimination worked for a discrimination-free country and received huge responses from common people to step down the fascist prime minister Sheikh Hasina.

But after the resignation of Hasina, Hindus houses, temples, different sculptures and cultural organisation offices are being vandalised countrywide, he said, urging the interim government to take steps to stop these activities and provide justice for victims.

The Bangladesh Army chief took responsibility of the country but countrywide vandalism, attacks and killings were not stopped, said Probir Sardar, vice-president of Udichi.

He urged the interim government to take immediate steps to stop attacks on religious minorities and national minorities. 

Presiding over the rally, president of Udichi Professor Bodiur Rahman said, ‘We have to continue our activism to establish a discrimination-free country.’

Artistes of Udichi performed people’s songs and recited poems at the rally.

Besides, general secretary of the Kendriya Khelaghar Asar Pronoy Saha, Bangladesh Juba Union president Khan Asaduzzaman Masum and Udichi’s leaders spoke at the rally.
