Ziaul Ahsan in 8 days remand

The court granted an 8-day remand of recently dismissed Major General Ziaul Ahsan, who was arrested in the murder case. Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Arafatul Rakib gave the order on Friday (August 16) afternoon. Earlier, the police brought Ziaul Ahsan to the court from the DB office in the afternoon and applied for a 10-day remand. After the hearing, the court granted his eight-day remand. Ziaul Ahsan was arrested from the Khilkhet area of the capital on Thursday night (August 15) in the murder case of shopkeeper Shahjahan Ali (24) on July 16 during the quota reform movement. Ziaul Ahsan was appointed Director General (DG) of the National Telecommunication Monitoring Center (NTMC) on 5 September 2022. Since then, there have been direct allegations against him of helping Sheikh Hasina in phone hacking and assassination. Later on August 5, the day after Sheikh Hasina left the country, he was dismissed from the job.

Students to form new 'political party' within a month

Awami League and BNP have demanded that the interim government hold elections in Bangladesh as soon as possible. However, the students who participated in the movement rejected this demand. Instead, they are thinking of forming a new party to bring reforms to this place. Four students from the student movement made such comments in an interview given to Reuters. They hope that what has happened in the last 15 years will not be repeated. In these 15 years, Sheikh Hasina has suppressed 17 crore people in this country with a strong hand. It went on like this until last June. Students took to the streets in June to demand reform of the quota system in government jobs. Suppression began in this movement. Later it turned into a movement to overthrow the government, and Sheikh Hasina's government was ousted. According to Reuters, at least 300 people died in violence in Bangladesh earlier. This is the highest death toll since the 1971 war of independence. The anti-government movement started from the quota reform movement. Youths known as 'Jen G' started a movement against all irregularities starting from interference in people's freedom, and corruption of government bureaucrats and ministers-MPs. Sheikh Hasina's government fell, interim government came to power. Nobel laureate Dr Muhammad Yunus became the chief advisor. His advisory council also includes two student movement coordinators. For most of the last three decades, either Awami League or BNP was in power. The top leaders of these two parties, Sheikh Hasina and Khaleda Zia, are now over Seventy. In such a situation, the students discuss forming a new political party to bring reforms to the country. A student named Mahfuz Alam told Reuters. Mahfuz Alam, a 26-year-old law student, said a decision could be made within a month. The students want to discuss this with the general voters before forming a political platform. Earlier, no details were given about the plan. In this regard, Mahfuz Alam said, 'People are tired of the two political parties. They have confidence in us.' Coordinator Tahmid Chowdhury said that they have the possibility of forming a new political party. Its main basis will be non-sectarianism and freedom of expression. However, the two student representatives on the advisory council of the interim government did not say anything openly about it. Even they did not say which policy they wanted to work with. However, he is talking about extensive reforms in the Election Commission.
