“আমি আমার ছেলেকে বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ে পড়তে পাঠিয়েছিলাম, কিন্তু আজ তাকে লাশ হয়ে ফিরে পেলাম। এখন আমি ওর মাকে কীভাবে শান্তনা দেব?”

JCD Leaders Condemn ‘Planned Killings’
During the janaza, Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) Central General Secretary Nasir Uddin expressed grief and outrage over the killing, claiming it was part of a pattern.
He said,
“এই মাসের ৩ তারিখে আরেকজন জবি শিক্ষার্থী মারা গেছে। জুলাই মাসের আন্দোলনের পর থেকে চারজন ছাত্রদল কর্মীকে হত্যা করা হয়েছে। এগুলো আলাদা ঘটনা নয়, পরিকল্পিত হত্যা। প্রকৃত অপরাধীদের দ্রুত বিচারের আওতায় আনতে হবে।”
Translation: “Another JnU student died earlier this month. Since the July uprising, four JCD activists have been killed. These are not isolated incidents but planned murders. The real perpetrators must be brought to justice swiftly.”
“আপনার ব্যবসা এখন অনলাইনে— Storola-এর সাথে সহজ ও স্মার্টভাবে!”
