Gravitas: ‘It’s not a protest anymore. It’s a war now.’ 

What this old lady is telling is completely wrong. The slogan given by the students was " who are you, who am I? Razakar,razakar. Who labelled us Razakar? Dictator, dictator" This lady missed the last line and twisted it.

As a foreigner, I just cannot imagine that the protest turning into this horror for Hasina's brutality.

Bangladesh government shutdown All internet connection system . We can not communicate any way our Family..... Help my brothers

Cutting off internet should be a human rights violation. We living in abroad want to talk to our families. This is a abuse of power in display.

The Ambassador assessment is one sided and tried to back up the current illegal regime in Bangladesh. The TV anchor's assessment is much more realistic than the ambassador.

The sympathy of our Pakistani is with the Bangladeshi students..... We are praying for you people.

This old lady, whoever it was , doesn’t know what she’s talking about.

GOD BLESS THE STUDENTS OF BANGLADESH FROM AUCKLAND NEW ZEALAND 🇳🇿

That old lady is a freaking liar.

It should be based on Merit and not by what we do in India. I support the Students. 😅😅😅😅

Caution: The Ex-high commissioner is biased. She is supporting autocratic government of Hasina. Please save our students 😭🙏🙏🙏

This lady is providing some misinformation about of our students protest 😢

Save Bangladesh. Save our students . ❤️🇧🇩❤️

Save Bangladesh students 😢

The Old lady freaking liar! 😡😡

Two points: 1. The people outside Bangladesh still have not understood why the students are labelling themselves "Rajakar". Whenever someone in Bangladesh criticizes the government in power, they are labelled as "Rajakar" by the government or the ruling party. That being said, the demand to abolish the quota-system obviously makes the government/ruling party call the people in support of the aforementioned demand "Rajakar". That is why the people demanding the abolishment are like "You can call us whatever you want, you can also call us "Rajakar" if you want, but we still demand the abolishment of the quota-system". 2. If the government/PM wanted to abolish the system, why did the killings happened? Why was the path of violence chosen when there were ongoing peaceful protests?

Great news. Most of the news covered, but the situation is more worse now. Closely observe the scenario as much as possible, by now unofficially more than 300 people has been killed. We, from abroad, worrying since last two days thinking that what is going on inside Bangladesh. She is doing massacare now at night in the darkness, using all of her power, all security agencies, all of her political parties. We beg international community to raise their voice against this dictator. Thanks for making this report again.

Save Bangladesh students

My ear is bleeding hearing this women's word's.

Old lady is bloody liar 😡

Students are being massacred... I request the world to stop this genocide😥😥😥

Old lady just like telling as on behalf of Hasina. She has not enough information about local students movement!!!

For all the laymen out there, let me elaborate everything from the scratch:- 1) Firstly, there's a so-called, "Quota system for freedom fighters" in Bangladesh which *only* favours the Children and Grandchildren of the Freedom fighters that fought in the 1971 war. The current quota is 30% and it massively favours students and employees, it's basically like position/seat reservations for prospects while finding a job. So you can clearly understand that, even the "low-skilled" individuals gets a pass and are much easily able to pursue their dream careers without *proper merits*. 2) Obviously, no Disrespect to all the Beloved Freedom fighters, but to me personally, it serves total injustice to the rest of the students who are hardworking, bright and has much more potential to offer and be the building blocks for our country's future generations. 3) That being said, it's literally a 'Now or Never' situation, hence the students of Bangladesh are demanding to fully abolish this 'freedom fighter quota' to come to a fair level playing field when it comes to prospects finding their jobs. The job market is already very saturated in the first place, so there is a dire need to abolish this unfair, quota system. (Please note that, Students are fully in support of the 'Handicapped/Physically & Mentally disabled quota', 'women's quota', though because Disabled or Differently-abled people deserves a better chance, otherwise it's literally an inhumane thing to do!!) 4) So the students especially from the well-reputed Dhaka University and Jagannath University first decided to organise a fully 'Peace protest' as an attempt to cover and expressing all their demands to the government. (P.S: Our PM Sheikh Hasina, blatantly tried to flip the topics up in a press-briefing and in return decided to term all the people without quota as "razalar" which is almost like a slang term used for " a War Traitor "!) 5) On the 15th of July, 2024, there were groups of police trying to control student crowd if things go wrong. But when the so-called organisation, "Chatro League" decided to intervene in the 'Students peace protest', things escalated from 0 to 100 instantly and became a total ruckus! From innocent students not only verbally, but physically harassed by the Chatro League! That being said, the police just decided to just sit and watch the entire commotion and even favouring the Chatro League members to bring in Weapons like Bricks, Bamboo Sticks to even Steel rods to attack Innocent students!!!! 6) Students were left totally Bloodied on the streets, from facing massive bruises and cuts to fractures. Students were literally begging and hiding under the Scarves of fellow, female students just to evade from the 'Murder-Hungry' Chatro League members! Please note that the chatro League had no business at all in the first place to be amongst the peace protesters and then brutally attempting to murder these students like WTF!?! 7) Why do we think that all of this commotion was 100% scripted and well-planned? It's because most of the Chatro League members came with protection gears like helmets and weapons like I already mentioned, bamboo sticks, Steel rods and even Guns!! (Yes you heard that right, Guns too in a peace protest!) This has to be a clear order from the government to the Chatro League to suppress all of the protests even if it required by means of murdering! The electric supply as well as the Internet supply in these Universities has been totally disrupted so that the peace protesters won't be able to publish the acts of violence, Online through Live streaming on Facebook/Twitter. Sudent accomodation halls were broken into, barricaded and attacked yesterday during late midnight, 'Stealthily'!! 8) The current number of injured students already crossed 400-500 and the number of innocent students deaths are creeping up every single day! (Already 5-6 students passed away and is officially confirmed). The peace protests has extended to a lot more Universities & institutions, today... In the same time, the Chatro League members are in the rise too with their Violent nature, trying to suppress these peace protesters everywhere in this country, even at the cost of Blood shedding! 9) So to conclude all of this, all we require at this moment is a "Voice to be heard from" from all the international organisations and Media coverages. If awareness is not conveyed in time, there will be much, much more blood sheds resulting in more innocent losses of lives, every single day! Massive respect and support to all the news outlets for providing coverage to this story as innocent students are in dire need of all the support that they can get. THIS TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO BE EXPOSED AND HELD ACCOUNTABLE BY INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATIONS AND BODIES LIKE CHATRO LEAGUE NEEDS TO BE BANNED, FOREVER!!! (P.S:- Comment and like on this Thread for more visibility and also rectify me, if I made mistakes in any of the points above)

The ex Embassador is extremely one sided. She seems like she is the mother of Sheikh Hasina - the way she is defendingn

Thank you the news anchor. We Bangladeshi Student need your support.

Save Bangladesh students 😢 Internet Shutdown No Connection My Family 😢

Ha ha the ambassador is a complete joke 😅

save Bangladesh students 😢

please save students Save Bangladesh 😭

Save Bangladesh student,,!😢

Protestors did not say that "We are Razakars", instead they said that means when people protested for their rights people are called by autocrat as Razakars now. The whole slogan is: We wanted our right, we were called Razakar Who are you, who are we, Razakar, Razakar Who said, who said, the dictator, the dictator! So basically, they said, "We want freedom from tyranny and we are now Razakaras!"

That was a very poor translation by Veena on what's actually going on in Bangladesh

Our indian students of general category feeling the curse of quota....😢

I don’t think students are actually doing this hacking or breaking jail as it’s not their target. Some other groups are doing using this situation and name of students

I am living in Australia. I can not talk with my family two days back in Bangladesh. They are out of network.I don't know what is happening right now😭

Save students save Bangladesh 🙏🙏🙏

I am a Bangladeshi Citizen. The news is 100% true.

Save Bangladesh student 😢

Two wars, Myanmar and Bangladesh neighbors..god help this world, crazy times

@wion, correction needed on the news clip title, it's,"Dhaka" not "Dhakha."!

The Ambassador is talking bullshit! Why she is even allowed to talk in International Media? She has no knowledge what escalated the situation. DELHI is a close ally of HASINA obviously DELHI wants to protect her, Delhi doesn't care about the Bangladeshi People. Shame on the Ambassador!! With respect I condemn your biased statements about the situation.

Not only the quota, the Prime Minister wants to change.🇧🇩

Fancy someone sitting on the power seat for 20 plus years, unbelievable

The old lady is misguiding people. that's not fair

The ambassador either does not know what she is talking about or backing up the autocratic government.

Student want that education and government job etc must be based on Marit and Talent, not based on Quota.

Bangladesh government shutdown All internet connection system . We can not communicate any way our Family Help my brothers

Half of them are call scammers 🤷🏻‍♂️

Pray for Bangladesh students

She is not entirely true. The leading party student wing-chatro league attacked general students. How did you know there were Shibir/ others?

How can someone defend a fucking dictator

It is not Dhaka crisis. It is whole Bangladesh Crisis.

📢 Save students, save Bangladesh! 🇧🇩

Except the general students, all the rest are BNP Jamaat Shibir Razakars. Hence the creation of so much chaos and turmoil.

Many years Bangladesh was calm.but this student protest is beginning of future agitations.

যে পরিবারের সদস্য পুলিশে অথবা কোন প্রশাসনের চাকরি করে। গ্রাম বাসীদের উচিত সেই পরিবারকে গণধোলাই দেওয়া।তাহলে এমনি পুলিশ প্রশাসন সোজা হয়ে যাবে
