Due to the ongoing quota reform movement, the entire country is now divided into two groups. One group is in favor of the movement and another group is in favor of the government. However, the artistic community of the country has always been free thinking. They speak for justice and without prejudice. In other words, since the purpose, belief and thinking of artists are the same, everyone should be of the same opinion in any situation.

But in the ongoing situation of the country, that is no longer the case. The artiste community was also divided into two groups. So far many stars have spoken against the rights of students and the violence against them. But no one is heard to say that these works are being done right. Not that some artists are still talking about this, but what happened today is clear that there is a difference of opinion in the artist community!

On the one hand, this morning in the capital's Farm gate area, despite the rain, popular stars and producers gathered to speak for the students. On the same day, another group of artists and stars visited BTV.

Due to the quota movement, these artists have suffered due to the massive fire incident in BTV. Many artists got emotional at the poor state of BTV from which they emerged as artists. Among them were legendary actress Sujata Azim, actor and present Member of Parliament Ferdous Ahmed, actor Riaz Ahmed, actress Nipun Akhtar, actor Azizul Hakim, actress Shomi Kaiser, Rokeya Prachi, Tanveen Sweety, Sohana Saba, Jyotika Jyoti, Swagta, Noona Afroz, Shamima. Tusti, producer and actress Hridi Haque, producer SA Haque Olik, Ekushey Medalist vocalist Subhradev and many artists from the entertainment world.

At that time, the placards of the artists' hands were written - 'Students and terrorists are not the same', 'Our children should not be a shield of violence', 'why is BTV vandalized? Who is behind it?

Earlier also famous cultural personalities Ramendu Majumder, Nasir Uddin Yusuf Bachchu, Sara Zaker, Piyush Banerjee, Golam Quddus, Jhuna Chowdhury, media personality Faridur Reza Sagar, Shaikh Siraj etc. visited BTV.

On the other hand, popular actress Ajmeri Haque Bandhan, Rafiat Rashid Mithila, Zakia Bari Mom, Nazia Haque Arsha, actor Musharraf Karim, cinematographer Siam Ahmed, filmmaker Amitabh Reza, Redwan Roni took a stand against the killing and torture of students at Farm gate.

It is true that the students did not take responsibility for the massive loss of state resources in the name of agitation. Most of the people believe that this incident happened in the conspiracy of another evil circle. 

Popular musician Shafin Ahmed passed away. Musician's brother Hamin Ahmed confirmed the matter to the media.

Meanwhile, in a post on social media, actor Ziaul Farooq Apurba wrote, 'Bangladesh band star Shafin Ahmed passed away while undergoing treatment in a hospital in Virginia. May Allah grant him Jannat.

The musician's brother Hamin Ahmed told the media, "Shafin had a massive heart attack." On July 20 he had a concert in Virginia. Shafin fell ill before the show. He canceled the show. He was admitted to the hospital that day. After that, when his various organs failed, he was taken on life support. After that, he could not be returned.

Shafin Ahmed's mother is Nazrul Sangeet superstar Feroza Begum and father is composer Kamal Dasgupta. Being born in this family, Shafin grew up in music from childhood. Just as he sometimes learned high-pitched music from his father, he also learned Nazrul music from his mother. After that due to study abroad he came in contact with the West and started his band music.

In 1979, one of the most popular bands in Bangladesh, 'Miles', was formed a few days after Shafin and Hamin joined it. After that, they presented many popular songs from Bangladesh. Shafin has many popular songs outside the band. 

Mehjabeen Chowdhury, the most popular actress of TV dramas, has also stood up against the ongoing violence against students with a strong voice. Highlighting the information of the Qur'an-Hadith today (Thursday) wrote a long text on the social handle. Mehjabeen Chowdhury's full text is presented here-

I have learned since childhood that family-society-state does not support raising hands on women. Our holy scriptures also never teach violence against women. It is said in the Holy Quran, "Be kind to women". It is said in the hadith, "The best of you are those who behave well with women".

But unfortunately, we have to see different pictures and shocking videos in the media or social media these days. Not one, not two, but countless of my sisters are being brutally attacked and bloodied. How cruel, what brutal! I will come to the topic of justice and injustice later, but I will say from my position: this violence against women cannot be accepted even on the pretext of the highest argument. 'No' means 'no'; not at all what did the students do? They were vocal about their rights. Quota reforms were demanded. So? Anyone can claim freedom in a democratic country. But raising hands on a woman, killing a promising young man like 'Abu Sayed' - does this fall under the level of civilization? Was there no other solution? Why do you have to shoot?

The situation may return to normal today or tomorrow. But the mother's chest is empty, the smile on the family's face is gone, can we fill that emptiness in exchange for something else? Not at all, history is a witness that no matter how great the power is, no one has ever achieved anything by overpowering the student society. So why this failed boom? We always cherish the great freedom war or our brave freedom fighters. We are proud that the brave freedom fighters sacrificed their lives to give us a free country. But in this country, one cannot express one's own feelings, one cannot demand rights, above all else, the identity of merit cannot be seen as the greatest, if you go against the wishes of the administration, you will be attacked and you will have to give your life prematurely - what is the dream of Bangladesh? Did you see our brave freedom fighters? I don't think so.

From rise in commodity prices, to question paper leaks to corruption - we remain silent on almost all issues. Even if the keeper becomes the eater, we sit in silence. Wait, maybe a solution will come. If not today, it will come in two days. On other issues we are not as vocal on social media. So why are you late? Why are common people like us condemning the action of the government regardless of party affiliation on the issue of quota reform? The reason is one; quota reform is the need of the hour. It is important to solve it as soon as possible. It should not be forgotten that we, the common people, clapped our hands with pride for many milestone achievements of the government including Metro Rail, Padma Bridge, Fly Over etc. I gave cheeky compliments. I joined social media. Surely, we will stand by the government again after the quota reform is done according to the demands of the students. I will cooperate with the government to solve all the problems of the country as a party. We will move the country forward together.

After all, students are the future of tomorrow. Mehjabeen Chowdhury appealed to the honorable Prime Minister and the Supreme Court to support their logical demands without suppressing them. I believe we will not be disappointed.

At the end of the post, the actress used the hashtag #SaveBangladeshiStudents. He added a collage of three photos of the ongoing movement.

Students are protesting across the country demanding quota reforms in government jobs. Turbulent streets in one-point demand, YouTubers including filmmakers, actors and actresses have expressed solidarity with the protestors seeking quota reform. But this time the stars outside the country have also united on that issue. Recently, popular Indian actress Swastika Mukherjee opened her mouth on the quota issue.

In an emotional post on her Facebook account, the Indian actress wrote, 'I have not been in my country for almost a month. There is hardly any Third World news on US news channels. And I'm not much of a phone bug, so it was late to hear such bad news.

I went to Bangladesh a few months ago, I really wanted to go to Jahangirnagar University. Had the good fortune to go to art will be a memorable day of life. Every time I come, I can't go because of my busy schedule, my mother also wanted to go to Bangladesh, but she was not taken, but today I saw a video, the smoke of bullets. University students are affected. When the student age is over, Jahangirnagar and Jadavpur are very close to me. Kath Golap trees are also similar. The clouds in the sky are the same. Only today there is the smell of gunpowder.'

'The field is heavy with fog

Rootmarch fades to the horizon

Is it lying in the middle of the road?

I sit down and pick it up

Cut off your head, whale. '

'I have never seen such a hospitable nation, the invitation for food never ends, where else can I see such a beautiful display of language all over the road? Eyeglass wall writing? Perhaps it is possible for a nation to take the oath of liberation war.

Today, I'm feeling restless. I am also a mother of children. I hope Bangladesh will be calm. I am far away, I can only pray this.

Light from the source of darkness - that is our light... Let there be light... Let it be good for all.'
