DUCSU camp pays tribute at Intellectuals Memorial

The leaders of the Chhatrashibir-backed ‘Unified Students’ Alliance’ panel that won the Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU) elections offered prayers and munajat in memory of the martyrs of the 1971 Liberation War and the July Uprising.

This Thursday morning, the newly elected leaders first visited the graveyard of the martyrs of the July Uprising in Rayerbazar in the capital and paid their respects. After this, they reached the Martyred Intellectuals’ Memorial and prayed for the forgiveness of the martyrs’ souls.

DUCSU’s newly elected Vice President (VP) Abu Sadiq Kayem said, “Our main task is to fulfill the aspirations and expectations of the martyrs. We want to start this from Dhaka University. The July Revolution started from here, and we will take it forward successfully. We seek prayers from everyone, including the freedom-loving students and the masses. Students can ask us questions at any time; our job is to work.”

Newly elected GS SM Farhad said, “Today we have started our post-victory work by visiting the graves of the 1971 Liberation War and July martyrs. Before taking charge, we will have an open discussion with the students. We will protect the trust of the martyrs’ sacrifice that has been entrusted to us by building a beautiful and non-discriminatory campus.”

Earlier, in the DUCSU elections held on Tuesday, the ‘Unified Students’ Alliance’ panel of Chhatra Shibir achieved a huge victory. The panel’s candidates won 23 out of 28 posts, including VP, GS, AGS.

The newly elected leaders said, “The martyrs are our beacon of inspiration. We will fulfill our duty to the country by following the path shown by them. The families of the martyrs in July are our families, and it is our pledge to maintain a connection with them.”
