Hasnat Abdullah, convenor of the anti-discrimination student movement, reaffirmed their firm stance against media outlets that support fascism.
鈥楾he pens that write in favour of fascism鈥攚e will break those pens again,鈥� he said at a public gathering Tuesday afternoon at the Chashara Shaheed Minar in Narayanganj.
鈥楾he first issue regarding the Awami League is that they must be put on trial first,鈥� said Hasnat.
People, including talk-show participants, university teachers, and intellectuals who advocate for the Awami League鈥檚 human rights, had long supported fascism. Their stance against media and ideologies favouring fascism would remain unchanged, he added.
鈥業f the older generation fails to understand the voice of the youth, future decision-makers will face the same fate as the Awami League,鈥� he warned.
Hasnat also criticised India鈥檚 influence in Bangladesh鈥檚 internal affairs, saying, 鈥楾he decision about who will sit in Ganabhaban (prime minister鈥檚 office) will no longer come from Delhi.鈥�
In a strong message to the interim government, Hasnat gave an ultimatum until January 15 to announce proclamation of the July Revolution based on political consensus. 鈥業t is very unfortunate that no visible action has been observed so far.鈥�
Following his address in Narayanganj, Hasant conducted street meetings in Siddhirganj Chittagong Road and Sonargaon鈥檚 Kanchpur, demanding the proclamation of the July Revolution.
National Citizens鈥� Committee spokesperson Samanta Sharmin, joint member secretary Abdullah Al Amin, joint convener Ali Ahsan Jonaed, spokesperson Arefin Muhammad Hizbullah, and central members Shawkat Ali and Tamim Ahmed, were present, among others.
