Hasnat Abdullah, convenor of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, reaffirmed their firm stance against media outlets that support fascism.

"The pens that write in favour of fascism, we will break those pens again," he said at a public gathering this afternoon at the Chashara Shaheed Minar in Narayanganj.

The first issue regarding the Awami League is that they must be put on trial, said Hasnat.

"People, including talk-show participants, university teachers, and intellectuals who advocate for the Awami League's human rights, have long supported fascism," he said.

Following his address in Narayanganj, Hasant conducted street meetings in Siddhirganj Chattogram road and Sonargaon's Kanchpur, demanding the July Uprising Proclamation. 

He said their stance against media and ideologies favouring fascism will remain unchanged.

"If the older generation fails to understand the voice of the youth, future decision-makers will face the same fate as the Awami League," he said.

Hasnat also criticised India's influence in Bangladesh's internal affairs, saying, "The decision about who will sit in Ganabhaban [Prime Minister's Office] will no longer come from Delhi."

In a strong message to the interim government, Hasnat gave an ultimatum until 15 January to announce the July uprising proclamation based on political consensus. 

"It is very unfortunate that no visible action has been observed so far."

National Citizens' Committee spokesperson Samanta Sharmin, Joint Member Secretary Abdullah Al Amin, Joint Convener Ali Ahsan Jonaed, Spokesperson Arefin Muhammad Hizbullah, and central members Shawkat Ali and Tamim Ahmed, were present at the time, among others.
