Shaheedi March held nationwide
The Anti-discrimination Student Movement today
brought out the Shaheedi March across the country to honour the martyrs of
the student-people uprising, marking one-month of the fall of the autocratic
Awami League regime.
The central march started from the base of the Raju Memorial Sculpture on
Dhaka University campus at 3pm while thousands of students from different
educational institutions in the city joined the procession with much
enthusiasm.
The students were seen chanting slogans in favour of their victory that they
achieved through a bloody mass uprising, also dubbed as Red Revolution or
Bangla Basanta on August 5 following the ousted of around 16-yearlong
fascist regime of Awami League.
After parading different streets in the city, including Manik Mia Avenue via
Nilkhet, Science Lab, and Kalabagan, Bijoy Sarani, Farmgate, Karwan Bazar and
Shahbagh, the procession ended coming at the same venue on Raju Sculpture
premises.
