A memorial erected in Plassey crossing in Dhaka in the memory of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology student Abrar Fahad marking the first anniversary of his murder Wednesday morning was demolished in the evening.
Abrar Fahad Smriti Sangsad built the memorial, Agrasan Birodhi Aat Stambha, having eight pillars, symbolising protests against aggression.
A Sangsad leader said that the memorial was demolished at about 9:00pm, about 15 hours after its erection.
At about 11:00pm, none of the pillars was found. Some bricks of the pavement were wiped out. Some marigold flowers that were offered to pay tribute to Abrar were found scattered and covered with sands.
‘Whoever has demolished the memorial, they have to erect it again. If otherwise, we would erect such memorials in districts and upazilas,’ said former Dhaka University Central Students’ Union social welfare secretary and Chhatra Adhikar Parishad leader Akhter Hossain, also the Abrar Fahad Smriti Sangsad president.

He said that they paid tribute to Abrar, the symbol of protests against Indian aggression, by erecting the memorial.
Abrar, 21, a second-year electrical and electronic engineering student of BUET, was beaten to death in the university’s Sher-e-Bangla Hall by Chhatra League leaders and activists early October 7, 2019 apparently for his critical views of the government and Indian ‘aggression’ on Bangladesh posted on social media.
The brutal murder sparked countrywide street protests and condemnations in home and abroad.
The eight pillars symbolise sovereignty, democracy, mass protection, communal harmony, economic self-reliance, protection of local industries, agriculture, rivers, forests and ports, cultural independence and human dignity, said leaders and activists of Bangladesh Chhatra Odhikar Parishad who mainly formed the Abrar Fahad Smriti Sangsad.
The plaque of the memorial sports a quotation from Abrar Fahad’s Facebook wall that reads, ‘My journey towards eternal eternity, at the end of infinite space’.
The plaque further reads, ‘Established to commemorate and uphold the spirit of Shaheed Abrar Fahad, killed by Chhatra League criminals for opposing Indian aggression.’
Marking his first death anniversary, Bangladesh Chhatra Odhikar Parishad also staged a protest against ‘Indian aggression’ on Dhaka University campus.
BUET registrar Mohammad Forkan Uddin in a statement on Wednesday expressed sympathy for Abrar’s bereaved family members and prayed for eternal peace of his departed soul.
The trial of 25 BCL leaders and activists, of which 22 arrested, began in a court in Dhaka on October 5, two days before his first death anniversary.

Arbar was mainly killed because he wrote against indian aggression in Bangladesh. Looks like indian stooge Hasina letting her killer goons roaming and destroying things.

Really need to get rid of that crow Hasina.

Actually Hasina is not bad , neither Mujib was. The real problems are their party goons who are responsible for the fall of Mujib and defame of Hasina. Unfortunately there is no rule and regulation in the recruitment of political parties , so only sycophants become leaders and in the end they screw a party. Specially Student wing of BAL is BCL and they are basically thug group. Only bad people join there .

These student wings seem to attract the scums of society. We have the same issue in Pakistan. Sadly they don’t learn nation building more loyalty to party than country.

Exactly . And I believe that BNP made alliance with Jamat in 2001 - 2006 only because they needed a good student wing to act as foot soldier for them . Only Shibir( jamat islami student wing ) can match BCL if you want street violence .

BNP was established in cantonment as a continuation of Muslim league of Pakistan time ( who did not vote Awami League in 1970 election ) , and suddenly BNP got huge supporters like this . But they were never politically organized in grass root level .

Nowadays BCL is suffering in the same tendency though . BCL was organized once , but they are in power for 12 years and lost the strength of unity. It's a good thing though . In future Bangladesh will be freed from such student thug wings .
