China’s policy of discrimination against Bangladeshi students: Protest rally, human chain held in Dhaka

The protest was held in Shahbagh on Saturday afternoon around 3 pm.

Shaheen Sikder, vice-president of the organization and General Secretary of the organization Mohammad Al Mamun presided over the human chain and protest rally, reports ANI.

Sonnet Mahmud, president of the DU branch of the organization strongly condemned and protested against the Chinese government’s policy of extreme discrimination against Bangladeshi students.

“About 5,000 Bangladeshi students are studying in China, and they are awaiting repatriation to China to resume their studies. The academic activities of thousands of Bangladeshi students have come to a standstill and their future is in dark,” Sonnet Mahmud was quoted as saying by ANI.

“Even students from Pakistan are being allowed to enter China but Bangladeshis are not being taken. The Chinese government is treating us in a biased manner, which is never desirable,” a victim, Mizanur Rahman, said in the statement as quoted by ANI.

Mohammad Al Mamun, General Secretary of the organization said: “After the COVID-19 crisis subsided, Bangladeshi students could go to almost all countries of the world, but for almost two years now the Chinese government has not allowed thousands of Bangladeshi students to enter China.”
