Rashed Khan: The platform of the anti-discrimination movement is now a source of discrimination

Staff Correspondent

Rashed Khan, general secretary of the People’s Rights Council, said that the platform known as the ‘Anti-Discrimination Student Movement’ has now become a center for creating discrimination itself.

He made this comment in a post on his Facebook page today, Saturday, August 2nd.

Rashed Khan writes that this platform has now become a center for extortion, lobbying, and administrative promotions and changes.

He believes that to maintain the sanctity and universality of this platform, its activities need to be permanently suspended.

Rashed Khan said, “This platform should have been preserved in history in such a way that everyone considers it their own. But now there is a controversy surrounding it, which, although unintentional, is becoming convenient for those in power.”

He further mentioned, “In the past year, many workers and activists have not been appreciated, ignoring their contributions, some individuals have taken the platform for granted. Now if the same leadership calls on everyone to protect the platform, responding to it means trampling on one’s own self-respect.”

In the post, Rashed Khan raised the question, “Didn’t anyone remember when power and opportunity were vested a year ago? Now, in times of crisis, everyone is being called upon, but no one wanted to be by their side then.”
