Kashmiri students at DU: Stop oppression in Kashmir

The protest began on Thursday afternoon

Nearly 400 Kashmiri students in Bangladesh, from several educational institutions, especially medical colleges, staged a demonstration on the Dhaka University campus concerning the ongoing crisis in Indian-held Kashmir.

The protesting Kashmiri students started gathering near the university’s registrar building around 4:15pm on Thursday and brought out a procession, marching through the Mall Chattar , Oporajeyo Bangla, and TSC intersections, before holding a rally in front of the Central Shaheed Minar.

Demanding immediate restoration of internet, landline, and mobile networks across Kashmir, they chanted slogans, carrying banners and placards reading “We want freedom,” “Free our land,” and “India, stop oppression in Kashmir,” and more.

Notably, a number of female students wearing medical aprons were also protesting.

“We are protesting the article which accorded Kashmir to India, which has been taken away from us,” said Mohammad Nawaz, one of the protesters.

“We have no information regarding our families, about whether they are dead or alive. We have literally no communication (with them). We’ve gone back to the medieval period,” he maintained.

“We are here to speak of humanity. This protest is to take our message to the entire world, especially the UN, to raise their voice to help end this crisis,” he added.

Questioning the role of the UN, he said: “We want to know whether the UN is an organization on paper only, or it acts against oppression across the world. The Indian government is for division, not unity.”

Fearing they may have to face financial hardship due to the communication disruption with their families, he said: “We might face tough times ahead since most of us will become bankrupt.”

Urging Bangladeshi people to stand beside them, Nawaz said: “We will be grateful if they help us in any manner. Maybe the situation will deteriorate further and we don’t know how long it will take for Kashmir to return to normal.”

Contacted, DU Proctor Golam Rabbani said the protesters gathered near the Shaheed Minar around 5pm in spite of the rain.

“They assured us that they would hold their demonstration in a peaceful manner. And they kept their word,” he said.

However, at 5:45pm, police intercepted the protesters when they started to march again from the Central Shaheed Minar area, and ended the rally.

The tension in Kashmir

On Monday, the Indian government revoked Kashmir’s special status, in a move that risks fuelling already heightened tensions with neighbouring Pakistan.

The BJP-led Indian government announced the removal of Article 370 of the country’s constitution which grants special status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir.

The next day, India’s Lok Sabha passed a bill to split Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories, with 367 votes in favour and 67 votes against.

Tens of thousands of Indian troops have enforced a strict curfew, which includes no internet or phone services, and are allowing only limited movement on streets usually bustling with tourists flocking to the picturesque valley.

Late Wednesday, India's aviation security agency advised airports across the country to step up security as "civil security has emerged as a soft target for terrorist attacks" on the heels of the Kashmir move.

The developments in Kashmir have irked India's nuclear-armed neighbour Pakistan which said Wednesday that it was downgrading diplomatic ties with Delhi. India has yet to respond to Islamabad's actions.

Islamabad has also vowed to take the matter to the United Nations Security Council.

Pakistan has fought two wars with India over the scenic Himalayan region.

[Yahoooooo!]

Not necessarily . Only Jamat and few others does not represent the whole religious community . Deobandis and others were very pro Bangladeshi from the very beginning . So do not equate the existence of Bangladesh with anti religious movement .

Ok.... 50% of them I guess.

At least they’re safe in Bangladesh.

Internal or bilateral matter of Indo-Pak


But people have right to protest.
I wonder about the reactions of Arab countries. Also BD need to tighten up the border. A wall in Indo-BD border will help the countries to coexist peacefully. Why no one have come up with this idea yet?

You may be right about Kashmir that it is an issue between Pakistan and India. But, there is a saying in Bengali, "When the housewife cuts the fish into pieces, the green chilis smile with profound pleasure that it is not him that is cut into pieces". The fish replies, "Be ready for the pain because next is your turn".

The green chili is somewhat like you who thinks whatever happens to Kashmir/Pakistan has nothing to do with Bangladesh. But, do not please forget about the time when the housewife's knife will also cut the green chili into pieces.

By the way, I wonder why Modi's Hindu govt is taking such an action. Can it be that Uncle Trump said something soothing to Modi's ears during his US visit?

That's why I think BD should improve its military and tighten the border

 

[EastBengalPro]

General public always will react, they are not politicians.

No way man.

Be realistic.

But its something that must be addressed more seriously iA.

If you consider from the high tech equipment stuff Bangladesh lacks but remember a single bullet is enough to kill a human. Vietnam were shortage of equipments still Americans got defeated there and more recently what Talibans did to Amercans and its qualition, who is begging for the peace now? Its all about deteriorating capability when you are a small country and invaded by a big country, thing change rapidly when it becomes People's war. Bangladesh produces enough ammunition in BOF and has vast number of soldiers trained to fire a machine gun.

That's why I think BD should improve its military and tighten the border

It is not possible to tighten the border unless there are real physical provocations from India. Perhaps, today's Bangladesh needs diplomatic balance more than physical strength. For example, BD talks proudly about its balance between China and India. A similar balance should also be initiated when it is Pakistan and India.

I am talking not about a passive balance but about an active one whereby the country's top politicians speak up their minds. For example, Mahathir said either give the Rohingyas MM citizenship or let them carve out Arakan. Is not the statement very clear?

But, can our Hasina Bibi talk like him? She is unable to take any decision even about Rohingyas and it is far more difficult for her to say a few words about BD-India border or Kashmir. She is waiting for other Muslim countries to talk in order to hide behind them.

BD needs a real democracy whereby the politicians would seek mandates from the population. Hasina Bibi is just "Her Master's Voice".

A similar balance should also be initiated when it is Pakistan and India.

What is there to balance with Pakistan? They hate us as much as those Indians. And they are far away.

 

[LuCiFeR_DeCoY]

Other then 10 percent hindus in bd and some spinless cuck bd members no one likes indiots. Dont judge bd by some moron posters here.

I am Bangladeshi and I approve this message

Mukti Bahani creed is loathed in Pakistan due to their terrorist ideology.

Good for you

Do not we also similarly hate Pakistan and India. It is a kind of sibling quarreling for small things. A more prudent approach should be taken. PM Imran Khan is positive on BD but the latter has yet to reciprocate his overture.

But, anyway, you are right about this hate matter and a long term approach is needed to warm up the relationship among the three. However, this decision on Kashmir may be regarded as a milestone for the history that will be unfurled from now. So, a better BD-Pak bilateral relationship, even a discreet one, is needed for our own survival.

 

[Mage]

We certainly do.

PM Imran Khan is positive on BD but the latter has yet to reciprocate his overture.

BD's position is clear. Pakistan have to apologize for that incident. With BAL govt which is friendly to India and a weak Imran Khan leading Pakistan, I can't see improvement in BD-Pak relationship.

But, anyway, you are right about this hate matter and a long term approach is needed to warm up the relationship among the three.

We need to build a wall. And improve our military capability. Amra to tader moto borbor hoite pari na. Better we interact them as less as possible. Poshurao oder theke onek bhalo.

However, this decision on Kashmir may be regarded as a milestone for the history that will be unfurled from now. So, a better BD-Pak bilateral relationship, even a discreet one, is needed for our own survival.

Kashmir e amader kisu korar nai. Pakistan e kisu kortese na. Age bati ghore tarpor masjid e. Age nijeder shamlai. Tarpor Kashmir niye bhaba jabe.

Seeing the OP was really heart-warming and gave me some hope in brotherhood between Pakistan and Bangladesh......I am actually starting to feel guilty about the negative things I said about bengalis and Bangladesh previously..........

Don't feel that way bro, some cuckold Indian loving Bangladeshi national ID holder also critic Pakistan.
But I can assure you around 80% of the people love Pakistan and 70% hate Hasina.How come somebody hates a Pakistan when their father or grandfather song "Pak sar zameen" in schools. She and her master India also know it that's why they arranged a fake election where she got more than 95% of the votes. Her master knows, if she gone this time India will be tossed for centuries in Bangladesh.
