Sarjis Alam, general secretary of July Shaheed Smrity Foundation and chief organizer of Jatiya Nagarik Committee (National Citizens Committee), on Friday said that the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement and the Jatiya Nagarik Committee are non-political platforms and will remain so in the future. Speaking at a view-sharing meeting organized by the Jatiya Nagarik Committee in Panchagarh, Sarjis said the organization would act as a pressure group to ensure accountability, regardless of the ruling government. “Our goal is to nurture future leadership in Bangladesh,” he added. Referring to past administrations, he criticized the culture of lobbying, describing it as a hindrance to genuine reform. “We aim to start a cleansing campaign. I don’t believe in lobbying,” Sarjis said. Saboteurs can never be patriotic: Religious Adviser He alleged that Sheikh Hasina had engaged in numerous misdeeds under the guise of infrastructural development over the past 16 years, saying, “Sheikh Hasina had made the metrorail, Padma Bridge, Expressway, Karnaphuli Tunnel visible in the last 16 years.” “One term is sufficient to build a few such projects, but what we have witnessed over the past three to four terms is the use of these infrastructures to cover up misdeeds and corruption,” Sarjis alleged. He noted that using significant infrastructure projects to mask systemic issues could lead to long-term problems for the nation.

General Secretary of the July Shaheed Smriti Foundation Sarjis Alam, who played a central role in the July-August movement that toppled the previous government, has said that Thursday's Secretariat fire was a planned, premeditated conspiracy. “The nature and location of the fire indicate it was neither accidental nor natural. It was a deliberate act of sabotage," he said while speaking at an event in Panchagarh. He called for a thorough investigation into the incident and urged the interim government to take a more revolutionary stance. He claimed the fire targeted the student representatives in the interim government, including Nahid Islam and Asif Mahmud, whose offices were reportedly destroyed. "These students have been at the forefront of the uprising, safeguarding files related to corruption and irregularities committed during the tenure of Sheikh Hasina. The timing of the fire raises serious questions," he added. Secretariat Fire: 2 committees to assess damages to Labour Ministry documents, assets He said that the interim government must ensure such incidents are not repeated and those responsible face accountability. He also warned of future conspiracies, urging unity to prevent a return of oppressive forces. "If this uprising had not succeeded, many of us would have been jailed. We must remain vigilant and hold the spirit of this revolution," he said.

Sarjis Alam, general secretary of the July Shaheed Smriti Foundation,  has said no one will be spared if they betray the spirit of the mass uprising. “Even Chief Adviser Dr. Yunus would not be exempted if he betrays the faith of the movement,” he said while speaking as the chief guest at a programme organised by the July Shaheed Smriti Foundation at Rajshahi district Shilpakala Academy on Saturday. Sarjis, also one of the coordinators of the anti-discrimination student movement, said they are not brokers or power-hungry people. Intellectuals' killings were anti-liberation forces’ most heinous revenge: Dr Yunus Regarding India, he said Bangladesh's relationship with India will be determined by India's actions. If India seeks to maintain good relations, it must return fugitive Hasina and stop sheltering her, he said adding that the people of Bangladesh will bring her to book. He claimed that instead of punishing the police officers who had opened fire during the recent movement, lobbying  is on for their new postings. He further alleged that leaders of various political parties and senior officials from the administration are becoming involved in ‘arrest-trade’. He raised question about the exhumation of the bodies of the July-August martyrs, saying why they should be exhumed when the bodies of those involved in Sheikh Mujib's killing were not.

If Hasina comes again, the same will happen.” He urged all to work constructively saying, “We will critically analyse the government’s actions and also assist the administration to fulfill its duties effectively.” Sargis called for justice against those involved in the violent crackdown during the uprising. Sarjis renews vow to deliver justice for victims of Uprising “There is sufficient evidence—videos, photos—against those who took part in the killings, no matter their affiliation, whether they were leaders of Chhatra League, Jubo League, Awami League, or police officers. If anyone hesitates to act against such individuals due to risks, they fail to uphold the spirit of the uprising and should step aside,” he said.
