The anti-discrimination student movement.
At the beginning of July, the students continued to agitate, stating their just demands. The movement was intensified by a word from the deposed prime minister. He called the agitators the children of Razakars and belittled them. The movement intensified in an instant and spread across the country. The government also went into hardline. All its might was used to suppress the movement. Curfew was imposed. The agitators were shot and killed. The public declared solidarity. The Awami League, Jubo League, and Chhatra League were expelled from the streets and all the halls of the university. Yet the government's policy of suppression and killing did not stop. The gathering of the public continued to increase on the streets every day. All the professionals and working people stood by the agitators. Everyone helped from their respective positions.
Shaheed Abdur Rahman realized the justification of every demand of the students. He could no longer keep himself away from the movement. He started attending various meetings and rallies every day. He was a water supplier. He used to supply water to various institutions. Jisan strongly felt the need for water in the heat and sweat as the agitators were standing on the streets and agitating. He supplied water free of cost at various points.
At the Rashdi Bagh point of Jatrabari in the anti-discrimination student movement, he was voluntarily supplying water that day. Hasina's police force came to the head of Rashdi Bagh Road and suddenly attacked the agitators. Jisan was shot in the right eye. He was martyred on the spot after being shot. 5:30 pm on July 20 was the last moment of Shaheed Abdur Rahman Jisan's life on earth. He was buried in Matuail graveyard.
