Students protest appointment of “fascist allies” as advisers

A group of students at Dhaka University staged a protest today, demanding the immediate removal of those who they referred to as “allies of the fascist” appointed as new advisers. The protesters, gathered at a human chain in front of the Raju Sculpture, sharply criticized the new advisers appointments.
Hasnat Abdullah, convenor of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, voiced the outrage of the students, recalling the sacrifices made during the recent uprising. "Students shed their blood during the fight for freedom, yet these appointments were made without consulting us," he declared. “This is a mockery of the students, citizens, and workers. If this continues, you will find yourselves in trouble. Then you will call for students to take to the streets. But this will not last long—we will not tolerate the rehabilitation of those who have thrived under fascism in any form,” Hasnat said.
He also demanded transparency in the selection process, questioning the credentials of those appointed. “If these appointments were made as part of some compromise, you are deceiving the students and the public,” he warned.
