Students of Milestone School and College in the capital’s Uttara area staged demonstrations on its compound on Tuesday morning, protesting what they called ‘falsehoods’ surrounding the casualties in the Bangladesh Air Force (BAF) aircraft crash.
The protest began around 10:30am during a visit by two government advisers—Law Adviser Asif Nazrul and Education Adviser CR Abrar—who came to assess the situation firsthand.
As the advisers were preparing to leave, the students surrounded them and began chanting slogans: ‘Fake! Fake’!
Later, the advisers—accompanied by the Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam and several teachers—moved to the conference room on the ground floor of Building No. 5 to hold discussions with a delegation of five to seven student representatives.
Meanwhile, hundreds of students continued their protest outside the building.
The students are demanding the accurate disclosure of the names and identities of those who died, a verified list of the injured, and compensation for the affected families.
