Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus has urged students to stay committed to the path of the ‘new dream’ they have embarked upon after toppling the Awami League government.
He told them to immediately point out any deviations from this goal during a meeting in the chief advisor’s office in Tejgaon on Sunday.
The meeting, which began at 11am and ended at 1:30pm, also included ICT Advisor Nahid Islam and Youth and Sports Advisor Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuyain.
They interacted with the students and discussed their concerns.
The chief advisor encouraged students to remain steadfast in their thoughts, rejecting outside advice if it diverts them from the vision they have set.
"Your thinking is clear and correct. Hold onto it tightly. If we ever stray from this dream, remind us immediately," he said.
The interim prime minister continued, "We have no desire to deviate from this dream; making it a reality is our constant duty. If we mistakenly cross the line, let us know immediately—this is the pledge we've all taken together. Let those unable to attend today know that our unity in this endeavor will ensure our success.”
Yunus warned students about the ousted. “Those deposed will not remain silent. They will make every effort to drag you back into that nightmare, to rule in peace once again.
“They will spare no effort in trying to regain their control. So, do not leave this work unfinished until it is completed.”
He again stressed the importance of the opportunity students have created. "In 53 years since Bangladesh was born, such an opportunity has not come. This chance that you have given us must not slip away. If it does, Bangladesh’s future will cease to exist.
“Our goal is to not just preserve it as a nation, but to establish it as a respected state on the global stage."
Continued Yunus, the 2006 Nobel Peace champion: “The world will come to learn from you, to ask what magic made this possible. You have discovered a powerful mantra, and though you might not even realise it, you must hold on to it. If that mantra is lost, we will be left with endless sorrow.”
The chief advisor became emotional while recalling his visits to hospitals to meet those injured in the quota reform movement.
“Every time I see them, it raises the same question: Is this the Bangladesh we have built? So many fresh lives were lost and we sit here today only because of the sacrifices they made. We would not be able to sit here, none of us, without them,” he said.
Yunus shared his experience from another hospital visit. He said, “A young man from Rangpur told me he could no longer pursue his dream of becoming a cricketer due to his injuries. We must honour their sacrifice by fulfilling the dream.”
The interim government chief concluded by affirming his commitment to pursuing the dream, despite the challenges.
“We may not have the capability or power, but our determination remains firm,” he added.
