People involved in the Anti-discrimination Student Movement can form a political party in the future if they want to, but they should do so under a different name, says Sarjis Alam, one of the coordinators of the movement.

“People in the Anti-discrimination Student Movement have the democratic right to form a political party. However, it will create a divide among them if the party is formed at this time, right after the revolution,” he said.

“In future, a political party can be formed if they want to, but under a different name to the Anti-discrimination Student Movement,” he said at a meeting with students and the families of those killed and injured in the movement in Madaripur.

The coordinator warned everyone that many ‘fake coordinators’ had emerged in different districts of the country and urged them to remain alert.

“After Aug 5, many fake coordinators appeared like ‘chameleons.’ They were opportunistic then, remain that way, and will be like that in future as well,” Sarjis said.

”We need to identify them. Otherwise, they will tarnish our image using the identity of a coordinator.”

Sarjis said that ’16 years of oppression’ would not end in 16 months. The mass uprising has destroyed the nest of wrongdoings the Hasina government created, and now the opportunists were trying to create discord among the students, he said.

“Hence, we have to unite. Those students who took part in the movement should remain united. Otherwise, things will go wrong in the future.”

“We must remember that this has been built up for 16 years and only a few of their leaders have fled. It won’t take long for them to return,” Sarjis said.

He also said that any student thinking of becoming a ‘fascist’ in the future or trying to misuse power would be expelled and face legal action.​

Doc ab to shadi karna is considered a mistake from grandma era.

Koi nahi karta shadi ab.

Was talking to my buddy reza the other day and he said all his nieces n nephews in Iran won’t do it.

Irans population is plummeting and the jahil afghani and central Haitians moving in pretending to be afghani.

100 years ago millions of Azeri and Turkmen moved in escaping brutal communism of the USSR. Salay sub ghuns betthiye.

It’s not a good scene.

I have no tolerance for kids who give me gyaan on shaadi and personal life and la di da concepts like personal choice and dysfunctional social structures etc.

Including my own.

Bc suck it up and do your bit. You have 25 years to live for yourself. While your parents take care of you.

Then around 35 years of living for your kids and launching them in the world and their lives as adults and heads of their own families.

Along the way taking care of your aging parents as well when they are unable to on their own.

And then you and your wife are free to get on each others balls for the rest of your lives. With an empty nest. But a big bank balance. And aching back and knees.

Hey guys - I get all the analysis but let's keep it on topic. Just sayin'.

Why is this not happening elsewhere in South Asia?

Why aren't young people coming out in droves asking to reform the corrupt political landscape, upturning existing platforms?

I guess it is happening in Pakistan but why not in India?

BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman yesterday welcomed the move by the students, who led the July uprising, to form a political party, but warned that people would be disappointed if the party was seen enjoying support from the current administration.

The National Teacher-Employees Unity Council organised the programme titled "Jatiya Shikkhak Dibos and Shikkhak Samabesh" at the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh, marking the 89th birth anniversary of BNP founder Ziaur Rahman, which was on January 19.

"If any of these young people, [long] deprived of democratic and political rights, form a new political party to establish the rights of the people, BNP certainly welcomes the initiative. But if anyone seeks help from the state and administrative support to form a political party, it will disappoint the people," the BNP leader said.

He also said that if the behaviour, comments, or statements of those intending to form a new party are antagonistic and vindictive towards other political parties, that would also be undesirable to the people.

"Of course, today's youth are the future of Bangladesh. The youth will create a new path by coming out of the past, but not in a questionable way."

He also considered unnecessary arguments between the interim government and the pro-democracy forces of Bangladesh as a waste of time.

"But at the same time, I want to draw the attention of the government and say that if the people can patiently accept its failures in various areas, it is important for those in the government to have much more patience and tolerance."

As BNP pursues politics for the welfare of the people, he said their party aims to ensure the people's political and economic power.

"Election is one of the main effective tools to ensure the political power of the people. Creating controversy over the election arrangement means unwittingly strengthening the position of fugitive and defeated fascist forces," Tarique warned.​
