A student of Uttara University standing behind the BNS Center said: "We have come here today to implement the previously announced program. We could not come out at the specified time, students could not come due to various reasons. However, in other places there were timely protests. Our program was in front of BNS Centre. But we didn't go there again because of the police presence.”
Aftab Ahmed, a parent who stood with the students in the procession, said:"I have come here today for the safety of my children. We don't want conflict, we want peace.”
At this time, the students said: “Our 9-point demand has now become a single point. That is the resignation of the government. It is not only the demand of the students, it is now the demand of the mass people.”
After staging a demonstration there, they left the place and went to different places under the instructions of the coordinators.
A protesting student said that instructions have just arrived to go to the Central Shaheed Minar.
“We will go there now. But here too our students will stay.”
