If Sheikh Hasina’s government did not fall on August 5, the adviser said that armed struggle would have taken place. Nahid Islam.
He said, on August 5 i.e. July 36, we released a video, in the video I said that if there is any massacre or massacre today, then we will have a call for armed struggle. We may not come back, you keep fighting. I made a video and gave it to some journalists. If I don’t return today, if we don’t win today, then this is our last message. All of us were and still are prepared to die.
The advisor said this in the speech of the special guest at the prayer and discussion meeting in memory of martyr Nasib Hasan Rian in the mass uprising in the conference room of the Ministry of Health at the Secretariat on Tuesday (October 29). Nahid Islam served as one of the coordinators of the anti-discrimination student movement that led to the uprising.
Nahid Islam said, at that time everyone was ready to be a martyr. Naseeb took to the streets announcing on Facebook, came home saying that I may die today. It was a reality for all of us who were in the field.
He said, there are many expectations for this government, the government may not be able to fulfill all the expectations. In two and a half months, three months, everyone is imposing demands on the government. But the fact that we got rid of 16 years of dictatorship, fascism and can talk about possibilities – this is a big achievement for us. It was possible because these people took to the streets. They let their chests get in front of the bullets.
Expressing our condolences and gratitude to the families of the martyrs and the injured, he said that even many children of Awami families participated in the movement. So this movement has many dimensions. Maybe we haven’t discovered them yet.
Nahid Islam requested the government officials to talk to the families of the martyrs and the injured in the movement, to help and cooperate.
