Nahid Islam, a leading figure in the anti-discrimination student movement advocating for quota reform, has urgently appealed to students to halt all forms of incitement, looting, and violence.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday afternoon, Nahid emphasised the need for peace and security amidst recent unrest.
"Government buildings are our state assets, and it is crucial to ensure the protection of all buildings and minority communities," Nahid wrote. He condemned the ongoing attacks and looting, urging for an end to these destructive actions. "Revenge and bloodshed will only undermine our cause. We must remain peacefully alert and focused."
In a related development, 13 coordinators from the anti-discrimination student movement visited Bangabhaban around 6 p.m. to discuss the current situation and the framework of a potential interim government. The group was accompanied by senior army officers, indicating a coordinated effort to address the political turmoil and seek stability.
Nahid Islam's call for calm underscores a growing concern within the student community about the escalating violence and its impact on the broader movement for social and political reform.
