Background of the Movement
Since the inception of the independent Bangladesh, the people have been the victims of various injustices, exploitation, oppression, and brutal tyranny. The freedom-loving people of this country have repeatedly risen up against such oppression in response to the demands of the time. The student community has also joined the struggling masses with a roar, expressing solidarity. Moreover, glorious history is witness to the fact that movements and struggles have always originated through the students of this country during critical times.
The Awami misrule, vote-rigging, corruption, murders, injustice, and oppression of the last 15 years had created a negative reaction in the public mind. The Awami government again started conspiring regarding the re-establishment of the quota system. In 2018, Sheikh Hasina, in the face of strong protests from the students, agreed to all the demands, but the fire of vengeance was burning in her heart. Therefore, after consolidating power in a one-sided election without opposition in 2024, the the streets. Faced with the wrath of the angry masses, the autocratic ruler Sheikh Hasina was forced to resign on August 5th. But before resigning, she left behind countless misdeeds of her cruel and distorted mind. As part of this, the armed forces were unleashed on the protestors and many innocent people. They were martyred by their bullets.
Joining the Movement
The quota reform movement gradually took the form of a movement of the general public. It spread across the country as a movement of anti-discrimination students and the general public. Initially, the non-violent movement of general students gradually moved towards a fascist government resistant uprising. Gradually, this movement was not limited to the students. It became a huge mass uprising of the people of the whole country. Everyone, regardless of caste, religion, or creed, expressed solidarity with this uprising and took to the streets. On August 5th, Mamun, like other days, went to the Comilla Cantonment area to take a course on freelancing. There he saw a procession of the anti-discrimination student movement. Mamun, a young man who was vocal against injustice, expressed himself and gradually secured a strong position at the forefront of the procession. Joining the procession, he made the streets resonated with slogans in a thunderous voice. In this situation, the foster assassin terrorists of the fascist government, the armed Awami League, attacked the unarmed protesters.
Embracing Shahadat
The students' quota reform movement gradually turned into a strong movement against the autocratic Awami government. On the morning of August 5th, the talented student Mamun joined the anti-discrimination student movement's procession in the Comilla Cantonment area. The fascist state apparatus had designed a heinous blueprint to perpetuate its power through countless innocent lives. To that end, the Awami assassin armed Chhatra League was unleashed on the unarmed students and the general public. At one stage of the procession, a chase and counter-chase started between the general students and the assassin Chhatra League in the Comilla Cantonment area.
Then the attackers pounced on the struggling student public. A notorious Chhatra League terrorist seriously injured the protesting young Mamun's leg with a cleaver. He immediately fell to the ground. The murderous ghoul assassin Chhatra League members did not stop there. Other terrorists of the group brutally beat him with chops and sticks on his chest, head, and back. Mamun's ever-smiling, bloody, lifeless body lay there. The streets turned into a river of blood. In critical condition, the students and the public took Mamun to Comilla General Hospital where the on-duty doctor declared him dead.
Later, after the Shaheed's namaz-e-janaza, he was buried in his area. Shaheed Mamun was very dear to everyone in his family. Losing him has cast a shadow of mourning over his family.
