Newsnext Desk The Anti-Discrimination Students Movement is working to build an inclusive society in Bangladesh, said Information and Broadcasting Adviser Nahid Islam.
He made the comment at a views exchange meeting between the Editors' Council and the Anti-Discrimination Students Movement (ADSM) at The Daily Star Centre on August 29.
Liaison Committee of the ADSM and representatives of the coordination committee attended the meeting, according to a press statement issued yesterday.
During the discussion, Nahid Islam told the participants in detail how the name of the movement came about and how the movement was carried out. He said the students who took part in the movement are working to build an inclusive Bangladesh.
Adviser for the Ministry of Youths and Sports Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan lauded the role of the print media during the tough days of the students' movement when the television channels were not broadcasting news.
"It was the print media that we could rely on. We had to walk long ways to collect newspapers," he said.
Chief Adviser's Special Assistant and ADSM Liaison Committee Coordinator Mahfuj Alam said the mass upsurge was a combined effort.
He said people's aspirations have been crushed since the political arrangement reached in 1990 collapsed on 1/11.
