Amid the unfolding situation in Bangladesh, Nahid Islam and others of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, has called on students and locals to safeguard the nation’s valuables from po-tential looters.
Speaking to Channel 24 in the evening, Nahid emphasized the importance of maintaining vigi-lance on the streets. “Our state property should be protected by us, and no one should get a chance to loot, taking advantage of the situation,” he urged.
Nahid, alongside eight other coordinators, appealed for peaceful street demonstrations until their objectives are met. He encouraged students and residents to actively obstruct any looting attempts.
The group also demanded the formation of an interim government inclusive of students, teachers, and civil society members. They proposed that this interim government would eventually transfer power to duly elected public representatives.
Sargis Alam, one of the coordinators of the anti-discrimination student movement, has urged the country’s people to protect the state property.
He made the call in a status on Facebook.
Sargis said, “This freedom belongs to the people of Bangladesh. From this moment on, it is the responsibility of all of us to protect the country and its people’s property. Because these are ours. “
Vandalism, arson attacks were carried out in different parts of the country after the fall of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s government.
