Mahmudur Rahman, writing in *Amar Desh* on July 1, 2026, reflected on the second anniversary of the July Revolution that ousted Sheikh Hasina’s government. He recounted his exile in Istanbul during the 2024 quota reform protests that evolved into a broader anti-fascist movement. Rahman described how the uprising forced the former prime minister to flee to India and expressed disappointment that post-revolution politics had devolved into power struggles rather than unity against authoritarianism.
He criticized both ruling and opposition parties for reviving factionalism and warned that such divisions could delegitimize the revolution’s achievements. Rahman accused political leaders of ignoring corruption and aligning with pro-India and former Awami League elements, thereby enabling the return of fascist narratives. He argued that denying the revolutionary nature of July 36 would endanger Bangladesh’s sovereignty and the people’s rights.
Rahman urged current leaders to uphold the spirit of the revolution and avoid rhetoric that mirrors Awami or leftist propaganda. He cautioned that failure to preserve the revolution’s legitimacy could reverse the gains of the movement and threaten national independence.
