DUCSU Vice President Sadik Kayem has warned that a protest movement will be launched demanding the resignation of three advisers if a set of demands is not met within the next 48 hours. He made the remarks after holding a meeting with Home Affairs Adviser, retired Lieutenant General Jahangir Alam Chowdhury, at the ministry.

Speaking to journalists on Monday (December 15), Sadik Kayem said that unless the demands are implemented immediately and there is a clear, visible improvement in the law-and-order situation, the Home Affairs Adviser, the Law Adviser, and the Foreign Affairs Adviser must step down from their positions.

While Sadik Kayem was addressing the media, the Home Affairs Adviser stood beside him and appeared visibly uncomfortable.

He then outlined three key demands. First, Sadik Kayem called for the immediate arrest of everyone involved in the shooting of Osman Hadi, including the gunmen, planners, and anyone who assisted the attack. He also demanded accountability from intelligence agencies and all relevant state institutions, insisting that those found negligent must face legal action. In addition, he urged a complete social boycott of individuals he described as “cultural fascists,” accusing them of legitimizing violence and creating an environment that endangered Osman Hadi and participants of the July movement. He stressed that these steps must be reflected in concrete action without delay.

The second demand focused on security operations. He said that within 48 hours, authorities must begin area-based search operations against the banned Awami League. According to him, militants at all levels of the prohibited organization must be arrested and all illegal weapons recovered. He warned that continued government inaction on this issue would no longer be tolerated.

In his final demand, Sadik Kayem addressed what he described as Indian dominance in regional affairs. He said that as a necessary first step, Sheikh Hasina must be brought back to Bangladesh and the verdict against her for crimes against humanity must be enforced. He also called for a reassessment of diplomatic relations with India, arguing that ties should not be normalized as long as individuals accused of mass killings are given shelter and are not returned to face justice.
