Abdullah Al Noman, general secretary of the Bangladesh Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal at Chittagong University, described in detail the events of July 16 during an anti-discrimination student protest at Chattogram’s Muradpur and Sholoshahar areas. He recounted how activists gathered following a directive from BNP’s acting chairman Tarique Rahman to remain on the streets. As rival groups from the Chhatra League and Jubo League reportedly took armed positions, clashes erupted when the protesters began chanting slogans. Noman said the students split into groups to resist attacks and that Wasim Akram, a fellow activist, joined the protest before being shot.
According to Noman’s account, Wasim was taken to Chittagong Medical College Hospital, where he was later confirmed dead. The narrative portrays Wasim as a courageous participant whose call to gather at Sholoshahar inspired others to join the movement. Noman expressed deep grief over Wasim’s death, describing him as a younger brother figure and symbol of sacrifice for the student movement.
The article concludes with Noman’s reflection that Wasim’s bravery and sacrifice will be remembered by future generations as part of the broader struggle for equality and justice.
