RANGPUR, Feb 6, 2025 (BSS) - Agitated students and people, including leaders 
and activists of the anti-discrimination student movement, demolished three 
murals of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman by bulldozers in the city on Wednesday night. 

Beginning from 9:30 pm, the mural of Sheikh Mujib was first vandalized and 
demolished on the Begum Rokeya University campus with a bulldozer. 
 
Later, leaders of the anti-discrimination movement and common students 
declared the premises as Mukta Mancha. 
 
At that time, the students were chanting sky-shattering slogans like 'Jone 
Jone Khabar De, Mujibabad Kobor De', 'Chhatra Leaguer Thikana, Ei Banglay 
Hobena', 'Abu Sayeed-Mugdho, Shesh Hoyni Juddho', 'Delhi na Dhaka, 
Dhaka...Dhaka', 'Mujibabad Murdabad, Inqilab Zindabad' and so on.
 
Protesting students Aminur Rahman, Mushfikur Rahim and Aminur Rahman said 
that the blood of thousands of students is stained on the hands of the ousted 
mass murderer fascist Hasina. 
 
The existence of murderer Hasina, her party Awami League and its leaders and 
activists will no longer exist at Begum Rokeya University, they said. 
 
Meanwhile, the name of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Hall has been 
removed and renamed 'Bijoy 24' Hall and the name plaque of Bangamata Sheikh 
Fazilatunnesa Mujib Hall has also been demolished in the university campus. 
 
Later, many agitated students expressed their ecstasy by burning a caricature 
of Hasina in front of the demolished mural of Sheikh Mujib. 
 
Meanwhile, at around 10:45 pm, leaders and supporters of the anti-
discrimination student movement and common people entered the Carmichael 
College campus. 
 
They vandalized the Sheikh Mujibur Rahman mural installed in front of the 
main gate with hammers, axes and sticks and started shouting slogans. 
 

On the other hand, at around 1:45 am, the Bangabandhu mural installed at the 
Rangpur Zilla School intersection was demolished with a bulldozer. 
 
Earlier, when fascist Hasina's regime was ousted in a mass uprising on August 
5, the Bangabandhu mural was demolished and a banner with a picture of martyr 
Abu Sayeed was put up there. The place was then renamed Swadhinata Chattar. 
 
Rajimuzzaman Hridoy, a leader of the anti-discrimination student movement, 
told reporters that students and people have created a grave of Sheikh Mujib 
murals at Carmichael College and Begum Rokeya University. 
 
Nahid Hasan Khandaker, spokesperson of the anti-discrimination student 
movement, posted a picture of the sculpture altar at Carmichael College on 
social media Facebook and wrote, "Fascism has been buried leaving the Statue 
of Liberty intact...," 
 
Later, students and public took out a protest march through various important 
streets of the city demanding the removal of symbols of fascism, the 
prosecution of perpetrators of the July-August genocide, and banning of the 
Awami League.
 
Imtiaz Ahmed Imti, convener of the anti-discrimination student movement 
Rangpur Metropolitan Committee, said, "Our bulldozer programme is in protest 
against fascist Hasina's coming live virtually from India and addressing the 
students and the public. 
 
"How dare the genocidal fascist Hasina come out in public when the blood 
stains of my brothers have not yet dried? Fascism will be eradicated from 
this country forever," he said. 
 
Rahamat Ali, member-secretary of the Rangpur Metropolitan Committee of the 
anti-discrimination student movement, said, "We have come together to 
eradicate the fascist mark that fascist Hasina has left across the country."
 
"Our movement against discrimination will continue until justice is 
established on this soil," Rahamat added.
