"Let me shatter some illusions today. We are entertainers. We are not heroes. The heroes are our freedom fighters. We do not sacrifice anything for the cause of the nation. The freedom fighters did. Don't misunderstand me, cricket is not everything. What we try to do is to bring happiness to our nation."
"I am a cricketer but can I save a life? A doctor can. But no-one claps for the best doctor in the country. Create myths around them. They will save more lives. They are the stars. The labourers are the stars, they build the country. What have we built using cricket? Can we make even a brick using cricket? Does paddy grow on the cricket field? Those who make courtyards using bricks, make things at factories, grow crops in the fields – they are the stars."
"I do not see myself as so cheap (low) that I would judge myself on a trophy. I do not play cricket for a trophy. A trophy is very important at one stage, and I believe Inshallah one day, Bangladesh will win one. It is important because it will boost the young generation coming into cricket. So in that sense you can say Bangladesh need a trophy, but not necessarily right now. And from a personal point of view, if you judge Mashrafe based on a trophy, that is up to you, but I do not see myself as that cheap (low)."
"I say, those who cry ‘patriotism, patriotism’ around cricket, if all of them for one day did not drop banana skin on the streets or did not spit on the streets or obeyed traffic rules, the country would have changed. This huge energy was not wasted after cricket and was used to do one’s work honestly even for a day, that would be showing patriotism. I do not understand the definition of patriotism of these people."
"I never planned ahead for anything in my life -- not for my exams, not when I had to buy clothes for an occasion -- I always do things at the last moment. So when I got the captaincy, I kept doing what I always did. I never thought about success, failure, future or past."
"What do we do? If I say it very bluntly – we take money, we perform. Like a singer or an actor, we do performing art. Nothing more. The Muktijoddhad [1971 Liberation warriors] didn’t face bullets to get money on winning. Who is being compared to whom? If there are any heroes in cricket, they are Rakibul Hasans or martyrs like [Abdul Halim] Jewel... Rakibul Bhai had dared to enter the cricket field with ‘Joy Bangla’ inscribed on his bat [before the 1971 Liberation]. That is big. Even bigger was his going to the front with his father’s gun. Shohid (martyr) Jewel left cricket and joined the crack platoon [a 1971 Liberation war guerrilla formation]. That is bravery. Dealing with fast-bowling has romanticism and duty, not bravery."
"If I do not perform, then I have to move away. If you come to play for the country, then you have to be responsible when representing the flag of the country. 160 million people are watching, 160 million people have judgment. It must be paid."
"If I could play 100 more matches with my 200 wickets, then I could have been a more important bowler. Perhaps everyone would have been very proud of me if I was a bowler of 300 or 350 wickets. I believe I have the ability to play for a long time, but even though I have played for 14 years for the country, I still lost three to four years due to the injury."
"I do not know how long I can continue my game with this team. But I can assure you that when I realize that my skills and willpower are decreasing, then I will drop myself."
"Mashrafe is ‘a piece of diamond’. People all over the world admire him. I know he will do well both in the cricket field and in Narail."
"When you look at Bangladesh, Mashrafe is a fine captain. He leads by example. He is a warrior-like captain and all the guys follow him."
"Mashrafe Mortaza is a fighter."
"Mashrafe Bin Mortaza is highly regarded not only in Bangladesh but all over the cricketing world due to his achievements and commitment towards the game."
"I think he is the best talented cricketer in the history of Bangladesh."
"Mashrafe is of course an incredible captain. He is experienced and as a human being, he is excellent as well. He makes everyone laugh with funny little talks. It has been really nice to play under his captaincy. He listened to everyone attentively which was very nice gesture from him. He is the one who never give up. Everyone in the team respects him."
"I love Mash a lot There is a good relationship between us. Earlier, we played as the opponent. I played together this time, it was a good time."
"Great pleasure to work alongside this top man, Mashrafe Mortaza."
"Mash is a type of guy you want to play for. He gives 100% so you have to give 100%. It is good for any team. Nobody can be lazy with Mash. He is a good cricketer. He is a very accurate bowler, and he can smack the ball against the spinners. He has authority, which is good."
"Mashrafe is a top-class captain. One of the best Asia has produced."
"Mahsrafe is one of the finest human beings he has ever worked with. That is perhaps why most of the young cricketers in the current side see him as their icon, as their mentor, as someone whom they all look up to."
"When I used to hear him speak about me in that way, it gave me a positive mindset. He did it through the tournament. I might play under a better captain than him but I seriously doubt whether if anyone else will take care of me like Mashrafe bhai (brother)."
"He led the team with utmost determination and grit despite losing the likes of Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal. He rated Mashrafe Mortaza as the best skipper of Asia Cup 2018"
"Some people may say he’s unfit. But the truth is if he is unfit now, then he has been unfit for the last 10 years – his knees were never okay. But then we saw it emotionally. Now, maybe we are looking at it as a big deal because things are not perfect for him in the last few matches. We are talking about a person on whose back (holding his hand) we have come here. I think it is very unfortunate because considering Mashrafe’s contribution behind the Bangladesh team and bringing the team to this stage, to make comments like these on him is very unfair. I think he deserves much more respect than he is getting."
"Mashrafe is the biggest inspiration of mine. He is a living legend. He is my Hero."
"Fifteen years ago we were in India for an A team tour, just before the Test series against Zimbabwe in which Mashrafe would make his Test debut.We were having dinner on the balcony of the Cricket Club of India in Mumbai when the club's president, Raj Singh Dungarpur, walked up to us and asked who the captain of the team was. I stood up and shook his hand. He said, "Please play well tomorrow. Don't lose too badly."Mashrafe was just a kid back then. He asked me what was being said, and I told him. I think Mr Dungarpur's words did us a huge favour that day. Mashrafe bowled really fast in that game, and took three wickets. I have seen Taskin bowl, but in those days, Mashrafe was really quick. That day, Mashrafe showed us how good he would be for Bangladesh."
"Mashrafe, the best captain of ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. Mashrafe is ahead of Indian captain Virat Kohli and England captain Eoin Morgan."
"Mashrafe bhai's (brother) first series as Bangladesh captain, he handed me an envelope in the airport lounge. "Read it later," he said. I got on the plane and opened the envelope. The letter I read that day is something that I still remember. He had written some very inspiring words about me, and it seemed like he had taken a lot of time to write it, with lots of personal touches. He is an extraordinary human being who has taken our team to new heights. He is like an older brother, a friend. I pray that he leads Bangladesh into more success, and may he play for many years."
"I always found Mashrafe to be a freakishly talented and determined individual. There are many occasions when he was unfit but pulled himself out somehow and managed to perform really well."
"We were playing T20s in Ireland in 2012, and Mashrafe had just returned from an injury. In the first couple of games he struggled a little while bowling, so he was mentally down about it. During a team dinner before the next game, we spoke for ages, and I remember on the bus ride home he opened up about his numerous operations, most of them with no support to and from the hospitals, and then rehab. I was taken aback by his story. He is truly inspirational and you could tell he was a deep thinker, smart and extremely determined."
"I believe in you, he said. I can't explain how much it motivated me. I went on to be selected and I did quite well in that series. This is what Mashrafe bhai does to players. He can motivate them in many ways."
"Clearly, as you saw in the field, Mashrafe is still the best bowler of the side, and once again he proved it today. But the 2019 World Cup is in just two years, and they have to decide if he can last for two more years."
"Elder brother, an idol, Motivator; Mashrafe Mortaza bhai (brother) means a lot to me."
"Mashrafe is a very skilled cricketer. And he always wants to learn something new. He wants to take himself on top by doing well. I see such trends in him."
"Mashrafe is so popular in Bangladesh that if he wants, he can join politics."
"“Why should we feel sad when the Hindu brothers choose to leave our country? Do we mourn when we have indigestion and materials leave our bodies?”: Delwar Hossain Sayeedi, vice-president of the Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh and one of the prime accused in the 1971 genocide in Bangladesh. 16 Muslim organisations held a massive rally in 2013 in Kolkata in support of this war criminal when he was sentenced to death by Bangladesh. The rally was held at the same ground from where Jinnah-led Muslim League had announced ‘Direct Action Day’ (violence against Hindus) in 1946 to press their demand for Pakistan."
"Mufti Amini said, "Banning child marriage will cause challenging the marriage of the holy prophet of Islam, who also married minor Ayesha, when she was just eight years old". He said, "The new law initiated by the current government will put the moral character of the prophet into controversy and challenge." Fazlul Haque Amini further said, "Islam permits child marriage and it will not be tolerated if any ruler will ever try to touch this issue in the name of giving more rights to women.""
"Several weeks back, Islamist clergy Mufti Fazlul Haque Amini and Moulana Rezaul Karim launched a movement of 'combating anti-Islam actions' by the government in Bangladesh. Since then, hundreds and thousands of followers of these fanatic leaders are active in various forms of demonstrations around the country. It is also reported in media that, minor boys in the Koranic Madrassas were forced join most of the anti-government demonstrations of these leaders. According to unofficial statistics, there are roughly 9 million students attending various madrassas in Bangladesh."
"Mufti Fazlul Haque Amini is branded as a 'political tout' in Bangladesh, who is virtually making millions by selling Jihadist notion amongst the people. He is under payroll of various Islamist groups including Pakistani intelligence agency ISI. Amini maintains closer ties with Al-Qaeda, Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, Lashkar-e-Toiba and militant outfits inside Kashmir. He also is actively involved in recruiting local youths for participating in 'Jihad' in Kashmir, Palestine and other places in the world."
"In April 2011, the Bangladesh Mufti Fazlul Haque Amini declared that those trying to pass a law banning child marriage in that country were putting Muhammad in a bad light: “Banning child marriage will cause challenging the marriage of the holy prophet of Islam, [putting] the moral character of the prophet into controversy and challenge.” He added a threat: “Islam permits child marriage and it will not be tolerated if any ruler will ever try to touch this issue in the name of giving more rights to women.” The Mufti said that 200,000 jihadists were ready to sacrifice their lives for any law restricting child marriage."
"The discussion could have been earlier. Discussion and shooting do not go together. You can't talk about dead bodies."
"No discussion through stepping onto blood.""
"11th March, Time 2:30 PM. A few days ago I told you that a new conspiracy called 'Refined Awami League' is being planned. This plan is entirely of India. Saber Hossain Chowdhury, Shireen Sharmin, Tapas are being prepared for this plan. The plan was presented to me along with two others from the Cantonment on 11th March at 2:30 PM. We are offered to accept this offer in exchange for seat compromise. We are told that this proposal has already been made to several political parties and they have agreed to rehabilitate the Awami League. It is better to have multiple opposition parties with a weak Awami League than to have one opposition party. As a result, you will see that several politicians have started giving speeches in favor of Awami League in the media in the last two days. We are also told that those who will be given a refined Awami League will confess the crimes of the Sheikh family, deny Hasina and appear before the people with the promise that they will make Bangabandhu's Awami League. When this proposal was given to us, we immediately opposed it and said that the plan of rehabilitation of Awami League should be left aside and work on the trial of Awami League. In response to this, we are told that if there is any kind of obstacle to the return of Awami League, we have to take responsibility for the crisis that will be created in the country and 'Awami League must come back'. Let me tell you one stage of the discussion - how will you forgive the group that has not apologized yet, has not admitted the crime! 'You people know nothing,' came the angry reply from the other side. You lack wisdom and experience. We are in this service for athletes forty years. older than your age Moreover, there will be no 'inclusive' election without Awami League. I replied, 'There can be no inclusiveness with the Awami League. If we want to return Awami League, we have to return over dead bodies. You have to take responsibility for the crisis that will be created if the Awami League is tried to return. Later - we have to leave the meeting unfinished. During the July movement, many things were tried to be done by us. There has been pressure to accept different types of prescriptions sometimes from the agency or from the cantonment. We have not succumbed to those pressures and have trusted you and the people. Hasina's ultimate downfall is with you. Even today, defying the pressure of cantonment, I want to place my trust in you again. I don't know what will happen to me after posting this. I don't know what will happen to me after posting this. I may have to face various pressures and may even be in danger. But there is no scope for any kind of compromise on the question of banning Awami League. In the days of July we blew up all the prescriptions of the cantonments and agencies in the mass of the people. If we get your support again today, we will be able to defeat the Indian conspiracy to rehabilitate the Awami League. Let us unite against the Awami League by keeping everyone aside. July will fail if Awami League can do politics. We will not let the blood of our martyrs go in vain until there is a drop of blood in our body. After August 5, there is no chance for Awami League to come back in Bangladesh, rather Awami League must be banned."

"So far those who have rehabilitated Awami League have had to pay the price. that Ziaur Rahman rehabilitated Awami League; He had to pay with his life. The Jamaat rehabilitated the Awami League, paying for it by hanging their leaders and activists. After that Awami League was rehabilitated again. It had to be paid through Pilkhana, Shapla massacre and destruction of all institutions of the country. If Awami League is rehabilitated again; You have to pay for it with my life."
"Those who are sometimes conformists, sometimes reformists, are essentially opportunists."
"After crossing the river, which brother-in-law is the boatman?

"Honorable Speaker, who has slandered our leader's () here... (Syeda Asifa Ashrafi Papia: ((loudly addressing the excited MPs of the ruling party (Awami League) while seated) sit, sit,... You have done a lot of exaggeration..) is a Political Prostitute, Hon'ble Speaker. Calcutta civil court's lawer Mr. Chandidas. (Excited uproar among government MPs) He had a daughter named Gouribala Das. Chandidas' Assistant Advocate Mr. Chandidas (Syeda Papia: (from the side) go on reading) used to travel regularly. On this occasion, Aranya Kumar Chakraborty had an illicit relationship with Gauribala. (Papia: read on read on..read on..yeah) (Government party members get more excited) Gouribala pressures Aranya Kumar to marry her when she realizes that she is pregnant. Aranya Kumar does not agree to this and denies the illicit relationship. Meanwhile Chandidas got worried after knowing the matter. Meanwhile Gouribala gave birth to a son on 12/12/1920. He was named Devdas Chakraborty. (Syeda Papia: (shouting support from the side) YOOOOO...(keeps pounding on the table.)) Chandidas keeps pressuring Aranya Kumar Chakraborty to marry Gouribala, (Syeda Papia: (slamming the table with support) Keep reading, keep reading...keep reading, keep catching...don't ever stop...yeah) but Aranya Kumar refused. Meanwhile, Devdas's age increased by 2 years. Chandidas became depressed and felt very ill. when (Shirin Sharmin Chowdhury: (addressing excited parliamentarians of the ruling party) honorable members, calm down.. (addressing Rehana Akhter Ranu) honorable member) Devdas was 3 years old, Chandidas's Muhuri Sheikh Lutfur Rahman married Gouribala. (The mic turned off) (Shirin Sharmin Chowdhury: Honorable members, I call your attention, honorable members, sit down, everyone, sit down, sit down. Honorable member, I call your attention. Honorable member, you speak on the budget following Rule 270. Give her the mic.) Thank you, Honorable Speaker, for asking me to speak on the budget. But the speech that was given on the last twenty (June), I want to ask you question, was it budget speech?"
"'We want the fall of this bloodthirsty Sheikh Hasina government. On June 23, 1996, Sheikh Hasina sat in ornaments wearing a Katan saree to take oath as Prime Minister. He waited, betting he wouldn't take the oath without the dead body of someone in the opposition. After receiving the news that a Chhatra Dal leader of Feni was killed, he went to the office with a smile. He was saying, Come on terrorists, come to kill Bakshali, go to take the oath with garlands around the neck.' We have not come here to sing the praises of the government, we have not come here to sing Rabindra Sangeet (Tagore song). We have come to criticize the government. There is no misdeed that this government has not committed in the last four years. They have not only made women men and men women. Awami League lost 4-0 in the city elections. Their popularity has reached the bottom. Now they are suffering from the pain of defeat.'"
"'Government party is clamoring for opposition members to leave parliament.' The government wants the opposition party not to come to the parliament. We will walk out. But I will not leave the parliament. I will reveal the information that I have about the corruption of the government. The book I have in my hand now is 'Amar Fansi Chai' written by Matiur Rahman Rintu. If you start reading this book, the government party will jump like a 'monkey', but you will not be able to walk out.' The Parliament leader sent the note from here, his others said. If the number one person in Parliament is OK, so are we. The Prime Minister said, he prays and alcohol is available at our leader's house. Our leader has been thrown out of the house. The prime minister drank half of the wine and kept the other half in the fridge. Prime Minister's son Joy is drunk. 'Drunken mother's big voice. People of this country know these villains. We appreciate it."
"'Was the speech given by the ruling party on June 20 a budget speech? I'm just replying. I have to say. If you don't give a speech, everyone will call you a broken speaker.' "On June 20, a Hindu member took phencidil, ate Yaba and made a statement about our leader, only possible for the sewer worms from the dark world, who muttered, she is a political prostitute." There is no book like the book that Apu Ukil talks about by Pakistani General Siddique Salik. BNP does not respect the verdict against Colonel Taher. This is Thaba Baba's verdict. Do not accept this judgment, do not accept. The high court called the current prime minister red-headed. Then he cannot be the Prime Minister. He said about the Prime Minister, 'Murderer father's murderer's daughter, Naam tar bhaumana'. If our language belongs to the forbidden village, then their language belongs to the Sardarani of that village."
"Many people's dreams have been broken during the tenure of this government, the Deputy Speaker dreamed of becoming Speaker, his dream has also been broken. After Zia's assassination, Sheikh Hasina was caught at the border while fleeing wearing a burqa. "Princess Tina Khan, Princess Zarina beauty queens who were rejected in the Miss World contest are now in Parliament. They say Abol Tabol by taking Phencidil. BNP did not create militancy. Militant leader Sheikh Abdur Rahman is a relative of an Awami League leader. Everyone in Awami League is the school of that militant. Sheikh Hasina could not give peace to her husband Wazed Mia. kept in turmoil. How will he give peace to 16 crore people? Ranu said two police officers beat up Harun and the chief whip of the anti-revolutionary party. The ruling party's MP told the MPs of the anti-revolutionary party, "The time has come for the Awami League to flee. If Tariq Rahman returns to the country, there will be no way for the Awami League to stay in the country. The Awami League will run away from the country by saying 'Hare Krishna Hare Naam'.""

"The agency has killed Osman Hadi for two reasons, 1. Tarique Rahman (TR 10) % for the arrival of Saheb. India has no other option than Tarique. 2. #BNP has announced not to prosecute army officers involved in the disappearance and murder. The agency wants to bring a corrupt and terrorist to power to save criminal army officers. It is worth noting that BNP has announced not to do mega projects only to not do the Teesta project. It is worth noting that Tarique's arrival was announced on the day of the shooting on Hadi. So that he gets security like the Prime Minister before he comes to the country. Besides, Khaleda Zia died long ago and is currently in cold storage. Otherwise, why are there no pictures/videos of Khaleda Zia's illness."

"Awami League, killer league, millitant-terrorist League, their birth in India will also be in India. This is why our language has become bad, looking at the blood of July, there is no such disgusting language, people did not apply it to Sheikh Hasina. Because the abuse of the oppressed against the mass murderer has become his epic. Now again some intellectuals are standing up, you slang them, then what will we give them, kiss? Bring me Hasina, we will give her a kiss.. Bustard.. Now our boys who are giving the f*ckin' slangs with her like chudling pong fong, by saying naraye takbir, she is supposed to slang them, but she is not giving it, she is not supposed to be that good at this age.. how strange it is..."
"I have slanged many times, I will not do it again, I repent, I want to leave, I have a son of my own, now there is an age coming, there is a stage of slang, but even if I don't give in, now there is a stage where not giving slang becomes a sin..."
"We don't slang, no, we do slang. Now who do we slang, that is the fact. Now suppose, you are leaving here for home. So, sitting in front of you, you saw a lady sitting in front of you being robbed by a robber holding a knife to her and taking all her belongings, or while trying to protect her, the child in her lap is about to fall and die, then if you have the least courage and strength, you will chase him even at the risk. Now, while chasing him, will you say to him in the formal wordy language like "Oh good boy, stop please" or will you slang him? The fact is, slang has been and will continue to be in society. But the slang that can be given to a mass murderer, who shoots a 6-year-old child from a helicopter and rips out her liver, then you will not necessarily give this slang to anyone else."
"The nature of Awami League is that it kills whoever loves it. Ziaur Rahman allowed Sheikh Hasina to return, whatever happening, let her come and atleast do politics, he was martyred after 13 days. We are in the same situation. So this is a poison. We have to create a national consensus on how to fight this poison. So I am telling you, do not corner BNP 100 percent. BNP is a big force for us in this fight against hegemony. This force cannot be cornered so much that they grab the hand of Awami League. If they grab the hand of Awami League, then the fight will become more difficult for us. Rather, our challenge to BNP is that any BNP that shows love for the BAKSALi constitution should be held up the picture of martyr Zia in front of it, that Ziaur Rahman himself had thrown away this BAKSALi constitution! Begum Zia said that this constitution will be thrown away, but Oh my God! What we are seeing now? A strange paradox! Now a new BNP is coming, better than Begum Zia! A BNP with more love! What an irony!"

"The story we heard from our fathers is that the Muslims said, "We will not let them go here and beat the drums during prayers while they are on our necks." The Hindus told E.H. Brandy in English, "They said, 'We will throw our necks away.'" Brandy then ordered the Gurkha soldiers to shoot. Immediately, 19 Muslims were martyred. Sher-e-Bangla then came here and dismissed Brandy, wanted to give land to the families of the martyrs, renamed the Kulkathi area as Shaheediya and built a school and a madrasa called Shaheediya, which still exists... My father said, "If you want to study in a university and become educated and work as mediators for those Muslims who did not know English and were given their statements to the British by the Hindus because they misinterpreted them, then I am willing to allow you to take the entrance examination." After I got admitted to Dhaka University, I was reading Abul Mansur Ahmed's book 50 Years of Politics in the library and saw that this incident was also briefly mentioned at the beginning."

My molecules are turning blue under the pressure of debt, my heart is bleeding internally to run the family, what a wonder, yet I am not dying! On the other hand, I do not dare to commit suicide for fear of hell! I told God, I want to die, He said, who said you are alive? The king has mummified you as a witness to millennia of development. If you sigh in the market, the state is greatly disgraced. The king is also very upset. The police have issued an order, I have to laugh all the time! Otherwise, local dogs and foreign cats will be fed with my meat. They don't like the intestines of broilers every day! Or I will be sold in parts, even humans can eat humans, right? Luckily, it won't be sold in foreign supermarkets, local humans have more right to eat me! When this hell is the fate, then I am calling the best carnivorous creatures in the world. O eagles, hawks and terrible hawks, O brave imperialist vultures, you like F-35s and MiG-29s - gather in a group and attack my chest; my thighs, thighs, eyes, liver - today they are all your booty; before the local pigs eat me, tear me to pieces as you wish! For heaven's sake, don't just eat my brain. Then you too will soon become slaves."
"You may be able to survive against the League. But you will not be able to survive against Shahbag! Shahbag state is stronger than the whole of Bangladesh!"
"If you want to protect the border, make weapons even if you eat grass, Bangladesh!"
"This attack is not only on Hadi, this attack is on the existence of whole Bangladesh. Young people like Hadi, who are outspoken, honest, uncompromising, and completely indifferent to personal interests, are the biggest threat to the return of the defeated fascist force. That's why they are dying to terminate these youths before election."
"...Considering all these conditions, We hope that Allah will accept Sharif Usman Hadi brother as a martyr."
"He (Hasnat Abdullah) is the next after Hadi! Strong Warning Issued to India Over Northeast Region: "'Seven Sisters' will be separated from India." - Hasnat Abdullah (NCP)"
"Don't be greedy. Money will come today, and will go away tomorrow. They gave 10 lakh taka to kill my gold (Hadi). Is this 10 lakh taka a lot? How long does it take to finish this 10 lakh taka?! I think even if a Bangladesh is given, my Osman will not come. This Osman will not be created! If you keep this Osman in yourself, you will have to keep both your intellect and the highway in your possession. Can't you?.. My Osman used to say that I want to create some boys and girls and leave them behind...."
"Get ready for a heart attack soon. Five Indian fishermen rammed to death by Kanglu (Bangladesh) navy; there will be a cost, a much bigger one."
"If 500 children are created like Hadi, if 1000 children are created, not only the whole of Bangladesh, it is possible to conquer the whole world."
"Shooter Faisal was paid a total of Tk 214 crore for Hadi's murder."
"We hope and pray that he attains the status of martyrdom."
"Hadi wanted a society where the people would make the leader of the parliament with their own money, and the leader would not become the leader of the parliament with his own money."
"Hadi doesn't seem like anything more to me than a very important 'guinea pig' at the moment. You doctors would cut open a cockroach's stomach and sew it back together. But Hadi might not be able to walk."
"If my fellow fighters, who led the movement to topple Hasina without fear of death, and all the families of the martyrs do not receive their due respect, I, Abdul Hannan Masud, personally announce that I will boycott the July Declaration programme."
"Our struggle did not begin in June. My political journey started in 2022 when I left my hall and joined the Student Rights Council. The aim was to raise voice against the dictatorship established at the national level and the oppression students were facing on the campuses. I believed that someone had to stand against injustice. A section must always remain come up to raise voice. No matter how few in number, those who speak the truth will eventually find support. That belief led me to step in politics."
