Posts, telecommunications and information technology adviser Md Nahid Islam on Saturday said that the mass uprising of 2024 was not over yet and it had to be revolutionised to establish a discrimination free society.
鈥極ur government couldn鈥檛 achieve expected goals in the last two months. If we can鈥檛 fulfil the logical demands or realise the goal of the mass upsurge, we will stand in the crowd again to realise those through another revolution, if required,鈥� he said.
Nahid, also the adviser of the ministry of information and broadcasting, said these while speaking at a function organised in celebration of the 16th founding anniversary of Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur as chief guest.
Speaking on the occasion, he urged all to embrace the spirit of the anti-discrimination student-people movement to reach fruits of the second independence to everyone.
Nahid said that although the students gave blood in all struggles of the country and gave direction to the nation, they or the common people didn鈥檛 get the benefits of those sacrifices later.
鈥楻ather, students have previously had a life of servitude. We don鈥檛 want to go back to a life of slavery again. Fascist structures must be dismantled in all establishments across the country to reach the fruits of second independence to all,鈥� he said.
He said student councils would be introduced in all universities as soon as possible with a new welfare-oriented approach instead of the student politics of violence, looting, torture, terrorism and muscle power developed in the fascist framework of the past.
鈥楧espite becoming a victim of discrimination in budgetary allocations, BRUR produced a national hero like Shaheed Abu Sayeed, who had kept his words by sacrificing life, and played a leading role in the movement,鈥� he added.
鈥楽o, Begum Rokeya University will no longer suffer discrimination in development allocation. I will also try my level best to establish a cyber centre in this university as per demand of the students,鈥� he said.
Presided over by BRUR vice-chancellor professor Md Showkat Ali, professor Mohammad Tanjimuddin Khan, member of University Grants Commission and Md Mokbul Hossain, father of the country鈥檚 first martyred student in the July Student-People Mass Upsurge Shaheed Abu Sayeed addressed the function as special guests.
