What happened at the central office of the anti-discrimination student movement?
Seven students were injured in the incident of beating at the central office of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement. The incident took place at the office located at Bangla Motor in the capital at around 4:30 pm on Tuesday.
The Anti-Discrimination Student Movement has issued a press release highlighting what happened at the central office today. It said, “Some misguided people came to the central office at Bangla Motor and started shouting various unpleasant slogans. At one point, they forcibly closed the gate of the office. This panicked the people in charge of maintaining the office.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, central executive committee members Rifat Rashid, Ahnaf Saeed Khan, Naeem Abedin, Asad bin Roni immediately went there to calm the situation and listen to the demands of the people who came. However, instead of cooperating, they also attacked the executive members. Executive member Naeem Abedin was injured in this. Later, when other leaders and activists arrived at the central office, those who incited the situation were forced to leave the office.
The notice said, “The development of beauty and harmony instead of violence is the path of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement. The Anti-Discrimination Student Movement believes that all organizational problems can be resolved through dialogue. The Anti-Discrimination Student Movement will not show any sympathy for those who choose the path of violence instead of dialogue.”
Stating that legal action will be taken against the culprits, the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement said, “Although some of the people responsible for today’s undesirable situation were participants in the mass uprising, none of them are organizationally connected with the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement. An internal investigation committee consisting of the responsible persons of Dhaka Metropolitan City and the executive members who were present at the central office at the time of the incident is already engaged in the investigation. Legal action will be taken against the people involved after the investigation.”
Seven people injured in the beating at the central office of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement were taken to the emergency department of Dhaka Medical College (DMCH) this evening. They are Imran Sarkar (21) of East West University, Jannatul Mim (22), Abrar (22), Al Amin (25), Afsar Uddin (25) of Tejgaon College, Asif (24) of Kabi Nazrul College and Masud (24), a student of Demra Baro Madrasa.
Injured Imran Sarkar said, “Yesterday, a fellow fighter named Prithu was beaten up in front of the coordinators in Demra. This afternoon, we were called to the central office of the Bangla Motor Anti-Discrimination Student Movement for a settlement. As soon as we went there, 8-10 people led by Naeem, a member of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, beat us up.”
