The news of the victory of the students and the general public in the mass uprising on August 5 took some time to reach there. It was 4 pm. Immediately, a victory procession was organized. The procession reached Pratapnagar Bazar in Ashashuni police station, Satkhira. More people joined the procession in the market. Thousands of people.

Tearful Words of Abul Bashar Adam's Father
Abul Bashar Adam was self-confident, brave, and affectionate at the same time. His words were serious and balanced, which demonstrated his intelligence. No one can forget that cheerful face which made him known and loved by everyone. He maintained his friendship with his brothers. When he was given a task, he was interested in the accuracy of the time allotted for the task and paid special attention to the work. Abul Bashar is my heart, my life. How will I live without him now? I have lost such a good son! However, even after losing my son, I am happy because after 16 long years, the autocratic Sheikh Hasina government of Bangladesh has fallen. In the history of the world, my son will be immortalized as a martyr. But Sheikh Hasina will be known by people as a terrorist and mass murderer. I want justice for the murder of my beloved Abul Bashar Adam. May the current government first bring to justice those who killed my son and other innocent students across the country.
His Brother's Reaction about the Martyr
Chanchal Hossain, the younger brother of Shaheed Abul Bashar Adam, says, “Whenever he got a chance, he would run to the field with a football. He would go to play football for the school, for the college, for the village. His joy knew no bounds when he won the game. The poverty of the family, even Dad's scolding, did not disturb him a bit. He was a bit stubborn. He was with the movement from the very beginning. But we could never have imagined that this would be his fate after the procession. We will never get our brother back. But we want justice for those murderers. Mom and Dad are completely broken."
