Socialist Students’ Front, left-leaning student wing of the Socialist Party of Bangladesh (Marxist), on Tuesday called for people’s unity to abolish fascism.

Leaders of the wing and party also demanded reforms in education to make the youths politically conscious of true liberation.

They made the remarks at the organisation’s 41st anniversary programme held at Anti-Violence Raju Memorial Sculpture on the Dhaka University campus. 

The party’s coordinator, Masud Rana, said that fascism was not established by a particular party but it had its economic foundation.

Talking about abolishing fascism and calling for people’s unity, Masud said, ‘Liberation from fascism is impossible without a united struggle against the capitalist-imperialist system.’

He said that youths must organise movements grounded in culture, values and proper political ideals for a true liberation.

The front’s general secretary, Rafiqujjaman Farid, said ‘Divisive politics will not distract people from their real life crisis. The interim government must understand this,’ said Farid.

The wing’s president Salman Siddiqui demanded immediate formation of ‘Education Reform Commission’ and cancellation of undemocratic decision to ban student politics and rallies in different educational institutions.
