Both sides gave speeches-slogans with emotion
Prof. AK Azad Chowdhury
Controversial Slogan: Opinion
Staff Correspondent: The speech given by the Prime Minister,she gave under emotion. She saw the nature of the liberation war, Razakar saw, saw the liberation war, the whole family was involved. So, in the expression of heremotions,she said that the grandsons of freedom fighters will not get it but the grandsons of Razakar will get it. It is an expression of his emotions. It is an expression of her own words and feelings. I don’t know if she really meant it.
Quota reformers who are raising slogans are huge in number. They can no longer be Rajakar’s children. She (Prime Minister) may have said out of emotion. She said that she was injured for shouting slogans against the freedom fighter quota. There may be a reaction among the students to say this. Because everyone has asked themselves that I am the son of Razakar? Out of that anger, they again came out with slogans and marched in the night.
We used to say, ‘Tui Razakar’. As an insult. They (students) are saying, ‘You are who I am who is RazakarRazakar’. But it is not acceptable. But the Prime Minister said this again. She said in the speech, do they know what Razakar is. The girls of Rokeya Hall were killed by the Rajakars, taken to the cantonment by the Rajakars. What is there to be proud of their identity, she (Prime Minister) said sadly.
The Prime Minister’s speech is from a place of emotion and the slogan of the students is also from a place of emotion. They said, I wanted rights, I became a king. So far so good. But I can’t accept that you are RazakaRazaka. Can’t agree. But it is also an expression of emotion. I think, the less such exposure, the more the divisions of the nation will be removed.
