Finally 'Alo Ashbei' Group Admin Tusti Opens Up

The WhatsApp group of pro-Awami League artists 'Alo Ashbei' is being heavily criticized. From there came the advice to pour hot water on the students of the July uprising.

Actress Shamima Islam Tusti is one of the four admins of this group. She expressed her position amid fierce criticism about the group.

On Saturday (September 7), Shamima Tusti wrote, "What I am going to write right now, I know, I may face abuse and trolls for this. Still, I want to clear my position. I want to say first that I am an active worker of a political party. Active worker of Bangladesh Awami League. This is because my father was a freedom fighter. In 1965, my father was the organizing secretary of the Malibag Awami League, so there was always this atmosphere in my house where I considered the forces of the Liberation War as my own. I don't think my bias is wrong either. I think I made my participation right. But despite being a member of this group, I have some judgments of my own. You all know that when one works as a worker of a party, he has to do according to the words of the leaders of that party. There is no situation to work against those party guidelines. And I don't want to do that as a party worker."

She also wrote, "That's why I am not a supporter of this murder, this brutality against students, not even for a minute. Many workers in the Bangladesh Awami League were not like that. Many of us needed to take positions. It was needed long ago. I know many of you will be offended by this. But I hope you will agree that we are too late to know what is happening in Bangladesh. We went on BTV, and artists protested against the violence and killing of students, but they didn't make it to the news. But what has come, created room for more misunderstandings. But I will not say that what has been done is not right either. We also visited the injured in the hospital."

The actress also said that she did not open her mouth for fear of trolls and abuse. Shamima Tusti wrote, "I came before you very late. But my feelings are not new. It was happening from the beginning. I didn't write before because I was afraid of trolls. I wasn't in the mood to take so many trolls and insults. Now I can control myself a little bit. I hope I will have the patience to take all your words."
