We will certainly bring home the benefits of this victory, which has been achieved through many sacrifices. To fulfill this expectation, the Advisory Boards have been trying to live up to it since the beginning. With honorable advisors, the people involved must be equally like-minded. Existing with a long regimen, anarchy has deep roots. Its extraction is a huge undertaking. Because reform is as difficult as it is fraught with obstacles. The road is long with obstacles. A collapsed economy is accompanied by a monstrous impression of totalitarian corruption. It is surprising to think where humanity and human values have reached, it is possible to carry out such terrible news on mirror houses (ayena Ghar) and extrajudicial killings. In one word, if I have to say 'where will I give medicine for pain in the whole body'? From being a shoe-maker to the secretariat is full of immense irregularities and corruption everywhere. 

People all over the country and abroad are shocked and amazed when a peon owns 400 crore BDT, one must understand how deep its roots are. The price of every essential commodity is completely beyond the reach of all the working people. So a large number of people have stopped eating beef as the only sacrificial meat. Even though the price was beyond the reach of the mind, the hilsa fish became a dream of people. Extortion by the various organizations of the defeated autocrat and the money laundering of the huge money-grubbing syndicates are mainly responsible for the increase in the prices of daily necessities. In this case, to bring peace to the public, the responsible persons have to get the utmost speed. 

However, the aspirations of the common people will certainly be fulfilled here. In that case, those who benefited from this illegal process must try to use force. They must be suppressed with a strong hand. The executive department or the administrative department of the country, the judiciary or the courts and the law department or the Parliament where the anxiety was immersed were busy obeying the orders of a dictator. According to dictator, nothing was considered in the criteria of valid and invalid. All were obedient to one's orders to implement. They have repeatedly stumbled to express and propagate their own views through all media. The intellectual society of the country had become speechless under the cover of an unknown fear. Some unknown force had covered all their intelligence. 

Calling white as white and black as black became a strange matter for them. They had to exercise extreme caution in holding regular meetings and giving opinions. Free thought and the expression of intelligence had become an untouchable genre. How can creativity be expected in this blocked environment. Bangladesh has been lagging behind for a long time. In various universities of the country, as vice-chancellors, pro-vice-chancellors, treasurers, proctors, student affairs advisers, important administrators and honorable persons are voluntarily resigning, what is left to understand is the unexpected slavish follower of the power political parties.

It is now as clear as light in the sun how dangerous and harmful it is to appoint all these prestigious positions of responsibility in the university just for bare and cheap political considerations. Every person in a university and research institution is a unique asset to the nation, society and the world. But they must be endowed with proper knowledge. These institutions have been severely corrupted due to political considerations alone. Society and nation have been tarnished. All concerned must work tirelessly to save the nation from this fate. Health and public health is a very important part. Irregularities in the holes in this part have come up before our eyes at various times. The actions of those in charge at that time surprised us beyond confidence. Instead of general public service, the responsible one received bribes and the victim fall into financial losses. 

Seeking legal assistance from law enforcement agencies was a desperate plea. Law enforcers were regarded as fearsome idols rather than in the hearts of the people. This agency turned into a slave agency of the powerful or economically wealthy individuals rather than the common people. They did not care about right and wrong, truth and falsehood. Similar irregularities and coercion have become the norm in all types of elections starting from the national elections. The rights of the people have not only been violated but trampled upon. The country was covered with an ominous cloak of unknown fear. After suffering for a long time, the common people turned into a frozen object. 

Can the demon that has risen to such a level be suppressed so easily and the lamp of hope lit? Yes, that's what I mean. The honorable advisors have taken a vow to undertake this daunting task. The Bengali nation is eagerly waiting for their good works. So they have a lot of responsibility. The common people have given a mountain of responsibility by binding the sky-kissing support of love. It is through that path that a promising bright sun will rise in the fortunes of this lovely and beloved motherland. 

Bengali people are really very emotional. As they can love, as they can be vulnerable and also as they can achieve the victory of their desired freedom. Every decision of the Honorable advisors demands prudence. Every step will be in favor of common people. Every behavior will reflect the rational will and rights of the common people. As every step of the previous dictatorial government was resisted by the common student masses, in the same way, they will surely keep a watchful eye so that there is no repetition of these unexpected events. We all know that nothing can be established permanently by violence, torture and show of power. 

If something like that happens, it will disappear within 24 hours of the power going out. Therefore, even after spending hundreds of crores of Taka, it cannot be immortalized by establishing an establishment in someone's name. Rather, by reflecting the hopes and aspirations of the common people, immortality can be achieved in the human mind through love. If the responsible people can kindly take this matter into consideration, it will be in our best desire.
