After Hasina fled, Nahid challenged he would not accept the rule of the army
Kathamandu: In Bangladesh, hundreds of thousands of students and young protesters broke through a curfew and entered the prime minister’s residence on Monday. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned and left the country to neighboring India.
The month-long protest against the quota system is being called a movement by students and the younger generation. From the same young generation, Nahid Islam played a leading role in overthrowing Prime Minister Hasina.
His name remained the most discussed in organizing and leading the students throughout the movement period.
These are the same young people who challenged Sheikh Hasina to reject a military-led government after she went into exile in India and recommended the formation of an interim government under the leadership of Nobel Peace Laureate Muhammad Yunus. Not only this, he also announced the formation of an interim government under the leadership of Yunus.
These subsequent developments show how important Nahid Islam’s role was in the Bangladesh movement. Some have called him a hero of the movement.
How did he lead such a huge movement?
According to Indian news agency NDTV, Nahid is studying sociology at Dhaka University. He is known as a human rights activist.
He had previously spoken out strongly against Hasina’s party, the Awami League. He called the members of the party ‘terrorists’.
“During an anti-government protest in the Shahbagh area, he said,” “Now the students are carrying sticks.” We are ready to take up arms. “
Nahid’s fiery expression and energy drew many students and young people to the demonstration.
He made full use of social media to fuel this movement. He regularly interacts with his fans on Facebook. They united against the government. His posts were in solidarity and in aid of those injured in the movement.
As the series progressed, Hasina’s government sought to rein him in. He was abducted from his friend’s house in Dhaka’s Shahjabagh on July 19. Blindfolded, handcuffed, he was taken to a secluded place and subjected to extreme physical torture.
Two days after his abduction, he was found unconscious under a bridge in Purvanchal.
He was abducted for the second time from Gonoshasthaya Hospital on July 26, seven days after the incident. Bangladesh’s top military brass from the Dhaka city police’s detective branch were involved in the kidnapping. The police have denied their involvement.
During the movement in July, Nahid and some students of Dhaka University were arrested by police. Then he went into further discussion. “We understand the value of the students who have been martyred in this movement.” “We will build a new democratic Bangladesh where we will have security of life, social justice and a new political environment,” Nahid said in an interview with Reuters.
Three hundred students have died in this exhibition for a month.
