CHATTOGRAM, Jan 15, 2025 (BSS) - The leaders of Anti-Discrimination Student Movement (ADSM) today formed a human chain at Chattogram Customs House (CCH) urging all to reject fascist allies as well as to free CCH from corruption and irregularities.

 During the programme, ADSM leaders also urged the members of C&F Agents Association (C& FAA) to reject Awami fascist allies in the upcoming elections by casting their votes to candidates with clean images.

ADSM’s Chattogram District Coordinator Omar Faruk Sagar presided over the event while student representatives, including the students who were injured during the July mass uprising, spoke expressing solidarity with the human chain.

After the human chain, the student representatives met Commissioner of CCH Zakir Hossain to hand over the demands.

Terming Chattogram Port and CCH as the golden gateway of Bangladesh, the ADSM leaders said the lion's share of the country’s revenue income comes through these two important installations.

They said the ousted Awami League government and its allies have pushed the economically important facilities at the brink of collapse through unbridled looting and corruption.

Awami beneficiaries have already been identified in order to prevent irregularities in future, they added.

The student leaders said members of corrupt syndicate centering the port and CCH are trying to rehabilitate themselves by securing their win in the upcoming election of C&FAA.

ADMS members will build resistance so that fascists allies cannot participate in the upcoming polls for greater interest of freeing the CCH and Ctg port from clutches of corrupt syndicate, they said.

The student leaders warned the fascist allies to give up their activities centering CCH and Ctg Port to create a conducive and trade friendly environment for honest businessmen and entrepreneurs who faced off frequent harassment and incurred financial losses for bribery and extortion during last 15 years of autocratic rule”
