He said these things at a discussion meeting titled 'Role of university teachers in overthrowing the fascist government' held at Nabab Nawab Ali Chowdhury Senate Building of Dhaka University on Saturday (August 8). The meeting was organized on the occasion of the second anniversary of the historic July mass uprising 2024.

The Home Minister further said, 'To those who were our friends and allies, even those who were once secret, I want to say—we will debate in parliament, we will hold processions and meetings, but we will not say anything through which fascism returns again.'

He highlighted the importance of political maturity and said, 'If anyone thinks that this is only the result of a 36-day movement, and that the continuous movement of the last 17 years has no contribution—that will be political immaturity.'

Also present at the discussion were Dhaka University Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. ABM Obaidul Islam and Prime Minister's Adviser Ruhul Kabir Rizvi. The meeting was presided over by Professor Dr. Morshed Hasan Khan, General Secretary of UTYAB and Convener of DU White Panel.
