The Anti-Discrimination Student Movement has rescheduled their "Long March to Dhaka" to be held on Monday, a day earlier than initially planned.
The decision was made during an urgent meeting amid growing concerns in the country, said Asif Mahmud, a coordinator of the movement, in a press release issued on Sunday.
He said: “In an urgent decision to review the situation, our 'March to Dhaka' program has been changed from August 6 to August 5. In other words, we are calling on students from all over the country to travel to Dhaka tomorrow (Monday).”
“Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has killed more than 50 students today (Sunday). The time has come for the final answer. Especially from the surrounding districts, everyone will come to Dhaka, and those who can, should leave for Dhaka today,” he added.
“The final battle has come. It is time to make the final signature of this student citizen uprising. Come to Dhaka to be a part of history. Students will create a new Bangladesh,” Asif further added.
