Nusrat Tabassum, coordinator of anti-discrimination student movement, demanded to investigate all kinds of murders, disappearances and state crimes executed by the state since 1972 and bring the culprits to justice.
She said all this in the speech of the scheduled negotiator in a dialogue entitled "Challenges and Actions before the Interim Government" organized by the Center for Policy Dialogue (CPD) on Wednesday (August 14).
Commenting that the people want to know the real secrets of many past events, she said, it is possible for the current interim government to do this because it is completely non-partisan and non-political.
CPD executive director Dr. Fahmida Khatun presented the key-note paper in the dialogue held in a hotel in the capital.
In the panelist's speech, Nusrat Tabassum identified fixing the law and order situation as the first priority of the current government. She said, if it can be fixed in 24 hours, then 25 hours should not be applied.
Demanding a radical change in the intelligence departments of the government to reform the law and order forces, she said, "When we were taken away, we understood how corrupt and partisan the intelligence department is."
At that time, she said, the civil society had suggested demolishing ‘Aina Ghar’, but although everyone knows about a ‘Aina Ghor’, no one knows about how many Aina Ghors there are in the country.
She said that state murders, state executed enforced disappearances and state crimes should be prosecuted through law enforcement agencies. In this regard, from 1972 to the present, she urged the investigation of organized crime through the state forces during all parties.
In the future, Tabassum urged the recovery of the economy as well as the recovery of economic reputation. She said, in one month of the revolution, the country's identity has been damaged in the outside world. At this time, the people have been given short speeches in a planned manner.
This student leader commented that the reputation of the country has been damaged due to the recent allegations of communal attacks.
She commented that the reputation of the country has been damaged due to the internet blackout by the last government during the agitation, and the country's information technology sector, especially the freelancing business, has suffered a lot.
Tabassum urged the political parties not to form cadre-based student organizations in the future.
She told the political parties, "Don't create a cadre force." Come down in the ranks of the people of the country.' She urged the present government to create a situation in which cadre forces will not be created in the future.
She suggested involving teachers, civil society representatives as well as parents in updating the education curriculum.
More demands of students:
Khan Mohammad Omar Farooq, a student of Daffodil International University, urged for speedy reform of the Digital Security Act and its variant Cyber Security Act.
He said that the life of a student named Khadijatul Kobra has been destroyed under this law due to speaking in an interview. This law must be reformed to preserve people's right to speak.
Urging the creation of complete documentation to retain the history of the ongoing anti-discrimination movement, he said, "Before this, we are seeing the history being distorted." It must be done officially so that the movement is not lost from history.
He suggested taking steps for independence of judiciary, destruction of market syndicates, development of IT and freelancing sector.
Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology student Tanveer Ahmed Imon has suggested reducing the trend of family system among political parties.
He said that although there has been political practice in the country for a long time, the two main parties are confined to two families. If this trend can be broken, many healthy politicians will emerge.
