Mahfuz Alam, advisor to the interim government, said that revolutionary zeal and provocative activities have destabilized the country. He posted this on his verified Facebook profile on Monday (November 25) afternoon.

In the post, he wrote, “The history of the last ten to fifteen years after the Liberation War is a history of freedom fighters killing each other. Those who did not want Bangladesh to stand on a solid foundation made the freedom fighters kill each other.” It is not that they were not at fault, but history will tell one day how the one-by-one killing of our freedom fighters set Bangladesh back.’

This time, Mahfuz Alam mentioned that the movement was a people’s movement led by brave students and youth, and wrote, ‘But a party and a local and foreign opportunistic establishment have vilified the students in the last three months, created division among the students through various student organizations, and incited another youth group against the students. Moreover, they have not dealt with the students respectfully, but rather have considered the students as enemies.’

Raising the question of whether the outcome of all this is good or not, Mahfuz said, ‘We must remember that foreign powers have no ability to subjugate the people of this country. However, some traitors and stubborn people with a slave mentality have this power. They have shown it in the last three months. If the legitimacy of the students is undermined by pushing them into conflict and killing them, all those who will benefit are involved in this incitement and administrative failure. We will gradually tell everything. Or, you will see it if you open your eyes.’

Referring to the role of many allies as stubborn today, Mahfuz Alam said, ‘We admit our failure. We have learned and are trying to overcome our failures. We will try harder to move forward with everyone. But, stubbornness and the students’ attempts at injustice will harm this nation.’

He said, stubbornness, incitement, creating division and conflict among students and youth, and attempts to make the forces of the uprising reactionary – all will be thwarted, God willing.

Highlighting the move towards unity like the morning of August 5, Mahfuz Alam said, “The unity formed organizationally this time will create opportunities for lasting liberation, InshaAllah.”
