Recent events, while fought on the streets, have been significantly influenced by social media, shaping the actions and narratives that have led us to this new path towards democracy and freedom.
With every revolution, it is crucial to sustain the momentum of the narrative to heal the previous ailments. Otherwise, we risk allowing the disease to re-infect, dragging us back into a cycle of corruption and fear.
Our social media platforms must continuously engage in promoting and highlighting current events, demanding immediate trials for murders and corruption to set examples for both the present and the future.
At times, we tend to lose focus, drifting toward viral social news, which can derail us from addressing more serious matters. Once disengaged, it becomes challenging to regain the same level of social media engagement to refocus on the original narrative.
Recently, we've seen a shift in attention toward topics like "Dakat Hunting," events involving Mr. Lutfozzaman Babar, and speeches by Mr. Saka Chowdhury. While we must not forget the past and ensure that justice is served, our priority should be the more pressing issues at hand. We must continue to post and highlight these situations so the government is pressured to act quickly and initiate justice.
Hashtags, reels, posts, and stories across all social platforms must consistently focus on the murder of students, those responsible, necessary reforms, financial corruption, and uncovering the true costs of ongoing projects in the country, among other critical issues.
Such sustained engagement will undoubtedly lead to actionable outcomes. A great deal of sacrifice and bloodshed has awakened us to an environment that many never dared to dream of. It has rekindled our love for our country, and we must not, under any circumstances, lose the momentum for change. The reforms we implement now will have lasting effects for decades, and we must ensure that we strike while the iron is hot.
