Special Correspondent: Shahadatullah Tutul, Convenor of the AB Jubo Party, stated that although the journey toward a fascist-free Bangladesh began after the July uprising, certain officials appointed illegally by the previous government are attempting to create instability within the country. The latest example, he said, is facilitating the overseas travel of fascist-appointed President Abdul Hamid — an act that he called a clear betrayal of the spirit of July. He emphasized that the interim government must lead the country in accordance with the spirit of July.
He made these remarks at a dialogue session with youth wings of various political parties, held at the central office of the party in Bijoynagar at 12 noon on Sunday. AB Jubo Party convener Shahadatullah Tutul presided over the event where member secretary Hadiuzzaman Khokon moderated the dialogue session. Other speakers at the meeting included Jubo Odhikar Parishad President Manjur Morshed Mamun, Islamic Youth Movement President Atikur Rahman Mujahid, National Youth Solidarity Convener Harun Or Rashid, National Youth Council President SM Shamsul Alam Nixon, Jubo Jagpa President Nazrul Islam Bablu, Revolutionary Youth Sanghati President Babar Chowdhury, Jubo Odhikar Party President Md. Nazrul Islam, Jubo Andolan NDM President Adnan Sami, and Bangladesh Islamic Youth Samaj Secretary General Al Masud Khan.
Tutul further stated that the Awami League has corrupted politics over the past 16 years and is now synonymous with terrorism. He demanded that the organization be banned and declared a terrorist group through legislation without delay.
Criticizing the controversial roles of certain advisers, he urged them to act more responsibly in matters of national governance. He called for an announcement of a roadmap for elections based on all commission reports, including necessary amendments. The interim government must pursue zero tolerance against corruption and corrupt individuals. Those who have laundered money abroad should be arrested immediately and permanently banned from politics.
He emphasized the need to reform the country’s electoral culture. The recurring five-year election cycle often leads to power struggles and conspiracies — everything seems to revolve around elections. He noted that if a sustainable solution to election-related issues had existed, Bangladesh would not be facing its current crisis. Therefore, the interim government must ensure a lasting and sustainable solution for future elections.
He called upon all youth organizations to unite, stating that the youth must play a stronger role in protecting the country’s sovereignty. All participating youth leaders expressed agreement on forming a united platform for youth organizations.
Monzur Morshed Mamun of the Youth Rights Council said that the demand to ban Awami League’s politics should have been implemented immediately after the August 5 revolution — it did not require a street movement. He also said that the government must have a clear and structured plan for the youth. He urged youth organizations to unite and uphold the spirit of the revolution.
Atikur Rahman Mujahid of the Islami Youth Movement noted that while the revolution created many opportunities, the country is now facing a different crisis. In the name of a digital nation, rural youth are being destroyed by drugs and pornography. He stressed the need for government action through public awareness initiatives.
He also said that the fugitive autocrat Hasina continues to conspire against the nation from India. Domestically, fascist collaborators are relentlessly working to undermine the interim government. As a result, all youth leaders attending the meeting expressed consensus in resisting these anti-national conspiracies and urged the youth to remain vigilant on all national issues.
Mansur Ahmed Saki, Mir Rezaul Alam, Momtazul Islam, Amanullah Sarkar Rasel, Saifullah Tahmid, Oliul Anwar, Azizur Rahman, Md. Borhan Uddin, Mahmud Azad, Engineer Koushik Ahmed, Masudur Rahman, Mahfuzur Rahman Imtu, Rashedul Islam also attended the meeting among others.
