Students have demolished the Sahan Ara Abdullah Park, built in the name of the mother of the influential general secretary of the Barishal city Awami League and former mayor Serniabat Sadiq Abdullah.
The park on the Dhaka-Barishal highway was demolished with a bulldozer at around 2:30 pm on Thursday.
Half an hour before this incident, students and the crowd started demolishing the mural of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman at the Barisal Press Club with hammers.
Earlier, on Wednesday night, students and the crowd vandalized the houses of former mayor Serniabat Sadiq Abdullah and Awami League advisory board member and former industries minister Amir Hossain Amur.
The late Sahan Ara Abdullah was the leader of the Barisal Awami League. She is also Hasanat's wife and the mother of former Barisal City Mayor Serniabat Sadiq Abdullah.
On the spot, it was seen that on Thursday around 11 am, the leaders and activists of the anti-discrimination student movement gathered at the main gate of BM College. At that time, they decided to demolish the mural of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman built on the highway at Sahan Ara Abdullah Park and the Barisal Press Club. Then, the students divided into two groups and set off towards the Press Club and the park. The demolition of the mural of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman at the Press Club began with hammers at around 2 pm.
On the other hand, the students and the crowd started demolishing Sahan Ara Abdullah Park with bulldozers at around 2:30 pm and crushed it in about three hours. During this time, the students and the crowd were seen cheering with each blow they took to demolish the structure.
Azizul Islam Naim said, there will be no trace of the absconding dictatorial government on the soil of this country. Even though they have escaped, their allies are conspiring to destabilize the country.
During the tenure of the current government, when people are living peacefully in their homes, dictatorial Hasina is sitting in India and giving provocative speeches. The purpose of her speech is to create an unstable environment in the country. He said that the students and the public will work together to prevent all fascist conspiracies.
He also said that former Mayor Sadiq occupied the highway by force during his power and built this park. By demolishing the park, the city residents will be free from traffic jams.
