Representatives of various student organizations in Dhaka University have decided not to observe National Mourning Day on August 15. Apart from this, a decision has been taken regarding the suspension of decision-making regarding student politics along with the consolidation of the student uprising.

On Tuesday (August 13), the Liaison Committee of Anti-Discrimination Student Movement informed that all student organizations have taken this decision in a meeting organized by this committee. Representatives of all other student organizations except Chhatra Samaj (National Party) and Chhatra League (Awami League) were present in this meeting.

At the end of the meeting, the media was informed that the Liaison Committee on behalf of the anti-discrimination student movement organized an exchange meeting at the TSC Auditorium of Dhaka University in order to consolidate the student uprising. Asif Mahmud and Nahid Islam from the advisory council of the government and representatives of all the student organizations of Bangladesh except the terrorist student organization Chhatra League and Chhatra Samaj participated in it. Coordinator Mahfuz Alam, Member Naseeruddin Patwari and Ariful Islam Adeeb were present on behalf of Liaison Committee.

It was decided in the meeting that in order to counter all the conspiracies of the July-August student uprising and consolidate it, all the student organizations will not hold any separate programs in the campuses for at least one month or more time depending on the situation, but instead, they should unitedly protect the spirit of the mass uprising under the banner of this movement. Fight for and prevent all forms of counter-revolution. No student shall abuse, harass, threaten or tag-blame anyone on campus or elsewhere using the anti-discrimination movement banner. Administrative action will be taken against the accused. No worker or leader of the terrorist Chhatra League will be allowed to stay in the campus. It was also unanimously decided not to observe 15th August as National Mourning Day. The representatives of all the student organizations present agreed with all these decisions in writing.

The dialogue between student organizations on the nature and form of student politics will continue in the interim. As a result, discussions on whether student politics will continue on campus will be suspended until the movement continues. However, the student organizations will not have a role in taking any policy decisions of the anti-discrimination student movement.

The explanation of the opposition to the National Day of Mourning states that since August 15 has been transformed into a political and cultural symbol of Awami fascism and terrorist and militant activities are being plotted again under the leadership of Awami League around this day, August 15 has been designated as a national day to consolidate people's lives and property and to consolidate the uprising. It is not appropriate to observe it as a day of mourning. The leaders declared July-August as the month of mourning, solidarity and resistance of the people of Bangladesh.

After Sheikh Hasina's departure from the country due to the popular uprising of students, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's house located at 32, Dhanmondi was set on fire as well as the house of Rahul Anand, the well-known face of 'Joler Gan', was also set on fire. However, Rahul Anand's house was not intentionally set on fire, confirmed the 'Joler Gan' Facebook page.

Rahul Anand's family friend Farhana Hamid shared this information in a Facebook status. Later, this status of Farhana Hamid was shared on the Facebook page of 'Joler Gan'.

Farhana Hamid wrote in her Facebook status, Rahul Anand's house was not set on fire, looted or vandalized. The main motive behind the fire was 32 "present Bangabandhu Museum and part of its future plans". The Bangabandhu Museum fire later reached Rahul Anand's house.

He also wrote that if Rahul da had been set on fire, they would not have allowed this family to get out like this. And it is impossible to get out of that house if you don't give it a chance. He also urged not to spread rumors that the fire at Rahul Anand's house has nothing to do with his religion, caste, or culture.

In the same status, she also highlighted Rahul Anand's wife Urmila Shukla's message. In any Urmila Shukla said, the shouts of the victory procession of the crowd outside. Suddenly I saw all the houses behind were on fire. We were instantly disoriented. I understand that all the houses of 32 have been set on fire. Our house is behind Santoor Restaurant. The three-story house of our landlord Mr. Ainul Haque was the first to be vandalized and set on fire. We did not know what to do when the cheering crowd entered through the Santoor gate and lit the Santoor on fire. My home was full of musical instruments. All the family went ahead to explain them. They did not try to hear anything in the 32 joy of destruction.

However, Rahul Anand wishes for peace to return to the country, even if it means burning his musical instrument.
