The ousted Hasina government established extreme autocracy by illegally establishing control over all the institutions of the country. When the government started mulling to reinstate the quota system which had been abolished earlier in 2018 in the wake of similar student protest, this time once again, the anti-discrimination student movement announced various programs to resist it. In the movement and struggle, the whole of Bangladesh became heated in the month of July. from July to the first week of August, a black chapter was started in the history of Bangladesh. by the fallen Hasina government. Instead of accepting the just demands of the students, Hasina ordered police to shoot the protesters indiscriminately. The Awami League and its affiliated organizations, along with the police force, engaged in a hellish massacre of killing people by shutting down the internet. In August, the level of the movement increased significantly. Private universities joined with public universities. As a result, the movement reached its final stage.
