High Commission in KL Urged Awami League Workers to ‘Manage’ Protesting Students

Kuala Lumpur ( Special Correspondent)—When Bangladesh was in turmoil regarding the anti-discrimination movement, its heat also spread among expatriate Bangladeshis. Bangladeshi expat students in Malaysia also started expressing solidarity from their respective places. The students then decided to form a human chain before the High Commission on July 19 and submit a memorandum.

This news reached the ears of the High Commission. At the same time, Deputy High Commissioner Khorshed Alam Khastogir contacted Awami League leaders and activists, and several Chhatra League and Jubo League leaders and activists confirmed to us. He then instructed them to resist these students outside the High Commission. The truth of that statement is found in an audio message from Awami League leader Rezaul Karim Reza. He said the Bangladesh High Commission had requested them to resist them outside the safe zone.

On the morning of July 19, the leaders and workers of the Awami League and its front organizations started gathering in front of the High Commission to resist the students outside. NSI officials of the embassy can also be seen instructing the goons. At that time, the leader of the Awami League, Emrezaul Karim Reza, instructed the students to be beaten up as soon as they were seen.

Mostafa Imran Raju, expelled Rtv correspondent Mostafa Imran Raju, Somoy TV correspondent Mohammad Abdul Kader, MyTV correspondent Ashraful Mamun, DBC correspondent Mohammad Ali, and Jamuna TV correspondent Ahmadul Kabir were also involved in the incident. Even after this incident, they are still campaigning to protect the corrupt officials of the High Commission.
