Jatiya Nagorik Committee staged a protest on Wednesday night at Dhaka University’s Raju Sculpture, condemning the attempted murder of Anti-Discrimination Students Movement conveners Hasnat Abdullah and Sarjis Alam. The two were reportedly targeted in a deliberate truck run-over incident while returning from Chattogram on Wednesday. Students from various residential halls of Dhaka University joined the protest, extending solidarity against the attack. Akthar Hossen, the member secretary of the committee and former social service secretary of Ducsu, put forward four key demands during the demonstration. 11-member committee announced at first national Anti-Corruption Coordination Council conference The demands are liberating Bangladeshi Hindu community members from the influence of extremist Hinduism, arresting and prosecuting those responsible for creating instability in the country, identifying and appropriately punishing individuals involved in the violation of Hindu human rights over the past 15 years, and implementing effective measures to ensure the security and dignity of minority communities.  “There is a conspiracy against Bangladesh. Attempts are being made to create a division between Hindus and Muslims. But the people of Bangladesh have demonstrated that they will not fall into such traps. We, Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, Christians, and indigenous communities, are prepared to sacrifice our lives to protect our country,” Akhtar said. Car of Sarjis and Hasnat's convoy involved in accident Coordinator Abdul Hannan Masud also addressed the gathering, saying, “The conspirators believe that by targeting Hasnat and Sarjis, they can undermine Bangladesh’s sovereignty. But from secretaries to labourers, every citizen of this nation is a warrior. No one will accept Delhi's dominance or any form of fascism. Everyone is ready to lay down their life for this land.”

Representatives from the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement and the Jatiya Nagorik Committee on Saturday discussed various issues with the BNP, including the removal of the President. After the meeting, Anti-Discrimination Student Movement Convener Hasnat Abdullah briefed reporters about the outcome, but there was no statement from the BNP. The seven-member delegation of student leaders arrived at the BNP Chairperson’s Gulshan office around 5:15 PM and had a closed-door meeting with BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, Standing Committee member Salahuddin Ahmed, and Joint Secretary General Shaheeduddin Chowdhury. Hasnat Abdullah said they mainly discussed three issues—the proclamation of the Second Republic, the removal of the President, and consolidating national unity. "As you know, we earlier called for national unity, urging all democratic political parties to come together to bring down the fascist Sheikh Hasina. This was a preliminary step," he said. "Currently, we face obstacles in fully eliminating fascism, particularly Chuppu (President Mohammad Shahabuddin). He should be removed. For the past two days, we have been in talks over these issues with prominent political parties in our country that participated in the mass uprising. We’ve discussed these matters with the BNP," Hasnat said. Coordinator Hasnat Abdullah demands removal of President In the meeting, he said, they discussed how to declare the Proclamation of the Second Republic, how to quickly remove the President based on political consensus, and how to avoid any kind of crisis. "We also talked about how to strengthen national unity." Besides the BNP, he mentioned they also spoke with Jamaat and Islami Andolon about it, and they agreed with their position. "Jamaat has already clarified its position, stating the President has no moral grounds to remain in his post," Hasnat said. He noted that Islami Andolon also expressed a desire for the prompt removal of the President based on national unity. Hasnat also said they will hold talks with other parties and alliances on these matters. "We’ll continue our discussions to reinforce the national unity that was formed before August 5 to build a new Bangladesh free from fascism." He mentioned that the discussion was held in an amicable atmosphere and that the BNP would clarify its position after discussion in their party forum. "We hope they will come up with a positive response." Apart from Hasnat, Anti-Discrimination Student Movement spokesperson Umma Fatema, Member Secretary Arif Shohel, Organiser Abdul Hannan Masud, Jatiya Nagorik Committee Convener Nasiruddin Patoari, Spokesperson Samantha Sharmin, and member Akhter Hossain were among the seven leaders present. Nasir Uddin Patiwari said, "Chuppu must go, but we are not setting a specific timeframe."
