The ongoing anti-discrimination student movement has ended successfully, it was said that everything old will be reformed. But there was a re-enactment of BNP and Jamaat atrocities after 2001. Bangladeshi media have sometimes shown these killings using the term “death”. The identity of the killers has been given by the angry crowd, agitators, miscreants, miscreants to hide the identity of the killers. In most cases, no news was published in the media controlled by the Chief Adviser of these murders. Talking about the rule of law, talking about reforms, the unprecedented killings that took place with the direct support of BNP Jamaat led by the workers of the anti-discrimination student movement have not been reported till date. There have been a few isolated cases in which Awami League leaders and activists have been implicated.
According to the news published in the media of Bangladesh, a direct attack by BNP Jamaat led by anti-discrimination student movement activists on August 5 has killed 181 people, including 132 Awami League leaders and activists, including 49 security forces. Most of them burnt their homes and confessed to murder in arson. Most of these 132 people are Awami League leaders, some are their family members, some are their political workers, well-wishers or business people.

However, the news of the death of 179 people so far in the attack of anti-discrimination student movement-BNP-Jamaat has come in the country’s newspapers.
