At a discussion marking Martyred Intellectuals Day, United Peoples Bangladesh (UP Bangladesh) chief organizer Naeem Ahmad claimed that the systematic killing of intellectuals by Pakistani forces in 1971 paved the way for the emergence of what he termed a fascist ideology, 'Mujibism,' after independence. Speaking as chief guest, Ahmad argued that opportunistic groups exploited the post-war vacuum to consolidate political control under this ideology. Ahmad further alleged that similar tactics of silencing dissent are being revived following the July 2024 mass uprising, citing recent attacks on activists including Inquilab Mancha spokesperson Sharif Osman Hadi and the killing of UP Bangladesh leader Tahmid. Other speakers, including Advocate Munshi Abdul Alim, accused the government of remaining indifferent to such violence and called for unity among pro-democracy forces. The event concluded with prayers for the souls of intellectuals killed on December 14, 1971. Analysts note that such statements reflect ongoing tensions between opposition movements and the ruling establishment over political freedoms and historical narratives.
