National Student Unity Week Kicks Off with Call for Discipline and Unity in Educational Institutions

DHAKA — The National Student Unity Week, aimed at combating discrimination and restoring order in educational institutions, began on Tuesday. The announcement came after a meeting held on Monday night at Banglamotor with various student organizations. The movement’s convener, Hasnat Abdullah, revealed the plan following the meeting.

“We will spread the message of unity and solidarity across every educational institution and initiate our activities there,” Hasnat Abdullah declared.

The meeting saw participation from 18 student organizations, with discussions focusing on inter-institutional conflicts and the persecution of minorities. Abdullah emphasized, “In these troubled times, there is no alternative but for us to unite.”

The student leaders also reached a consensus that the ruling Awami League would “never be rehabilitated” and called for the confiscation of assets belonging to individuals elected from the Awami League in the last three national elections.

However, the meeting did not address the recent violence at seven colleges, including Mollah College, Kabi Nazrul College, and Sohrawardi College, where clashes, looting, and casualties occurred over the past two days. No statements were made regarding the injuries or deaths from these incidents.
