BFUJ condemns slogans in favour of Razakar during anti-quota movement
  Date : 08-02-2025

BFUJ-Bangladesh Federal Union of Journalists today expressed concern over the move to stand the quota reform movement against the great liberation war and valiant freedom fighters.

In a statement, BFUJ President Omar Faruque and Secretary General Dip Azad said, "We condemn the chanting of slogans in support of Razakar at Dhaka University, home to all democratic movements. We are surprised by this incident. We strongly condemn and protest it."

"We`ve been observing with surprise that an effort continues to stand the quota reform movement against our great liberation war and valiant freedom fighters. Not only that, at some stage of the movement, some people are behaving in such a way that represents the defeated forces of the liberation war," they added.

Omar Faruque and Dip Azad said they strongly believe this is not the tone of this movement but the question is coming up whether any particular quarter is trying to divert this movement in favour of the defeated anti-liberation forces and against the Bangladesh`s development progress.

The BFUJ leaders said slogans chanted against pro-liberation media in anti-quota programmes and attacks on journalists gave a solid foundation to this idea.

Like all the conscious quarters of the country, the journalist society also thinks that a logical reform should be made in the quota system, they said, adding that the demand for rational reform of the quota system has been established and now the agitators, the judiciary and the executive should work together to make this demand fulfill.
