'Sampriti Samabesh' vows to build a discrimination-free Bangladesh

People from various religious groups, Anti-discrimination Student Movement coordinators, and political parties jointly held a "Sampriti Samabesh" in Dhaka's Shahbagh on Wednesday.

The gathering, held in memory of martyr Fayyaz, began with the national anthem, followed by a minute of silence. Participants later marched towards Rapa Plaza in Dhanmondi, reports UNB.

Tahmid Alam, a coordinator of the recent movement, delivered the welcoming speech, emphasising a unified Bangladeshi identity. "We are Bangladeshi; it is our main identity. We must fight together against forces trying to create unrest by inciting communal sentiments," he declared.

Mahadi Al Mahmud, one of the event's organisers, led the attendees in taking an oath to build a harmonious Bangladesh for all its citizens, regardless of caste, class, or religion.
