Campus Correspondent:
Standing at the threshold of one month since the fall of the Awami League government, the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement organized the 'Martyrs' March' to commemorate the martyrs with the participation of students and the public.

On Thursday (August 5th) afternoon, the march began at the Raju Memorial Sculpture of Dhaka University. Students from schools, colleges, and madrasas, as well as people from various walks of life, participated under different banners. Students from Tejgaon College also joined the march, holding banners in solidarity.

The participants, including Tejgaon College students, chanted slogans such as "Abu Sayeed-Mugdha, the struggle isn’t over," "I won’t let my brother’s blood go in vain," "Fire ignites in our blood," and "Delhi or Dhaka, it's Dhaka, Dhaka!" The slogans resonated among the crowd as they marched.

The massive procession, consisting of thousands of students and civilians, started from the Raju Sculpture and moved through Nilkhet, Science Lab, Kalabagan, the National Parliament, Farmgate, Karwan Bazar, Bangla Motor, Shahbagh, and finally returned to the Raju Sculpture, concluding at the National Martyrs' Memorial around 6:30 PM.

Students of Tejgaon College stated, "Although Tejgaon College students could not officially join the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement under our college banner, we participated individually in various parts of the movement. Our college hasn't formed any committee or appointed a coordinator for this movement, as we are under the National University. Therefore, we joined the movement under the banner of 'general students' and will continue to support it."

Notably, on August 5th, under the pressure of the student-led protests, Sheikh Hasina resigned from her position as Prime Minister and fled to India. This marked the end of nearly 16 years of Awami League rule. Three days later, on August 8th, an interim government, led by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus, was sworn in.
