Bring criminals to book quickly
As time passes, the situation in Bangladesh continues to become more unstable. Incidents resembling something out of a movie are unfolding across the country, and no one knows when it will stop. The events that took place in Gazipur last Friday night and throughout Saturday were completely unexpected. Since the attack on the house of former Minister of Liberation War Affairs, AKM Mozammel Haque, Gazipur has been in turmoil. Seven people were injured in the attack and are currently receiving treatment at Dhaka Medical College Hospital. In protest of this incident, on Saturday, throughout the day, the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement organized rallies and protests in the district town. They claimed that the attackers were supporters of the Awami League and issued an ultimatum to arrest them within 24 hours. Meanwhile, it was reported that one of the protesters was injured in the evening when criminals fired shots at them.

Despite owning expensive private cars, they would indiscriminately use government vehicles. Some ministers had been allocated three or four government cars. Not just the ministers and deputy ministers' families, but even their relatives would use these vehicles. The ministers’ flaunting of government cars during that time was widely criticized. The Awami League government’s reckless misuse and wastage of public resources generated significant public anger. This anger eventually manifested in the mass uprising.

Recently, they have been labeled as "accomplices of autocrats" by the anti-discrimination student movement.
